CMA CGM Air Cargo adds allotment booking on CargoAi

CMA CGM Air Cargo has continued the rollout of its capacity on the CargoAi booking platform with the introduction of allotment booking functionality. The move means that CMA CGM Air Cargo’s freight forwarder customers will be able to manage recurring capacity agreements including allotments, block space agreements (BSAs), pre-bookings and other regular capacity agreements. The allotment booking capability is available through CargoAi’s CargoMart booking service. CMA CGM Air Cargo and forwarders will also have access to allotment reporting that gives unprecedented visibility on allocation utilisation and price competitiveness. CargoAi founder and chief executive Matt Petot said: “Allotment and recurring booking automation are some of the clearest examples of how digitisation removes friction from air cargo without changing the commercial agreements airlines and forwarders already have in place. “With CMA CGM Air Cargo now live, we are giving their forwarder partners a faster and more transparent way to manage guaranteed capacity, while reducing repetitive operational workload for both sides month after month, but more importantly, full reporting capabilities so they can transparently manage their allocation with airlines.” CMA CGM first placed its capacity on CargoAi back in early 2025 as it added booking capability across three online platforms. It has also been a year of development for CargoAi. In June, the platform allowed its use through AI platforms, including ChatCGP, Copilot and Claude as the company responds to changing customer behaviour. CargoAi said that it had integrated its offering into AI platforms as it had in recent months observed a rapid shift in how forwarders and airline customers approach their day-to-day operations, with the centre of gravity increasingly moving from core transport management system and cargo management system environments toward AI interfaces.
