September 09, 2019 at 8:08 pmThis story is total nonsense. Was any research done to backup this claim? Or do you just publish stories with no factual basis? The world’s first cargo platform is actually entering the market 4 years late. Very lazy journalism …

September 10, 2019 at 1:00 pmHello James, and thank you for your comment. We are well aware that this is not the world’s first cargo platform! But it is – according to Freightos and Sinotrans – the world’s first “direct to customer” air booking platform, which offers global contract rates, dynamic pricing or ad-hoc requests, and allows customers to receive instant booking confirmation. We did point out in the article that this was a claim made by Sinotrans, not by us. I hope that helps.
