Digital Booking Platforms & Marketplaces

Digital booking platforms are intermediaries between forwarders and airlines: they aggregate live capacity and rates from many carriers and enable real-time rate search, quoting and instant booking (e-booking). For forwarders they replace the manual email request; for airlines they are a digital sales channel. The market is dominated by a few large platforms; alongside them are specialised rate-management and quote tools. aircargobook is represented in this category with the Frachtenbörse (RFQ marketplace) — transparently marked as a provider of this overview.
