MSC Air Cargo, the young air cargo carrier, is taking a step towards digitalization by partnering with WebCargo by Freightos. This collaboration aims to place MSC Air Cargo’s capacity on WebCargo’s online booking and payment platform.
The announcement, made on LinkedIn by MSC Air Cargo, highlights the benefits for both parties. Freight forwarders will gain increased visibility to MSC Air Cargo’s rates and contact information.

WebCargo, with over 50 airlines already signed up, boasts a vast network of freight forwarders. This integration will connect MSC Air Cargo to a wider audience and potentially streamline the booking process for both the carrier and its clients.
