CHAMP Cargosystems’ TRAXON cargoHUB community and Qatar Airways Cargo have signed a partnership agreement to enhance the carrier’s online bookings, offering a seamless experience to its customers through direct digital messaging.
TRAXON cargoHUB is a platform featuring one of the largest air cargo communities, with electronic access to over 100 airlines and 3,000 forwarders, operating from 9,000 branches worldwide. The platform will enable Qatar Airways Cargo to optimize the digitalization of its communication technologies. This partnership will improve the carrier’s data quality and flow, regardless of system or data format, thereby resulting in higher productivity, efficiency, and lower costs.
The carrier will also be included in TRAXON Premium Tracking, CHAMP’s end-to-end shipment tracking service. It leverages existing information flows to provide status updates based on the air waybill (AWB) numbers requested.

Its unique strength lies in its direct connectivity through APIs and TRAXON cargoHUB to communicate seamless bookings via a simple online marketplace.
“Qatar Airways Cargo has an extensive global network,” said Guillaume Halleux, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways. He added, “To provide seamless online bookings to our customers in this age of digitalization, we require state-of-the-art solutions and CHAMP’s TRAXON cargoHUB community is the right tool for this purpose.
