Qatar Airways Cargo has partnered with iNOMAD, a Korea-based all-in-one air cargo platform.

The partnership with iNOMAD will enable better connectivity for one of the airline's major customers in South Korea, Woojung Air and also help the airline increase its footprint in South Korea.

The cargo carrier said SMEs operating with Woojung Air would be able to compare Qatar Airways Cargo's offerings on the iNOMAD portal through the partnership.

Woojung Air is a prominent consolidator in South Korea and one of the top customers of Qatar Airways Cargo.

"Digital transformation is high on our agenda as part of our VISION 2027 and Next Generation Strategy. The integration and partnership with iNOMAD bring multiple benefits to our customers in South Korea, such as enhanced visibility of our capacity, rates as well as real-time confirmation of their shipments," said Guillaume Halleux, chief officer of cargo at Qatar Airways.

"Customers can benefit from instant access to these features at their fingertips, and that is the huge advantage digitalisation brings in," he added.

Joon-suk Yim, the CEO of iNOMAD, noted that the platform's strength is to promote the accessibility of air cargo service by optimizing extensive logistics data for clients and providing boundless service and information to both IATA/CASS members and non-members in real-time.

"Developing this business, we are grateful and proud to start a new partnership with Qatar Airways, a top-tier airline, that can provide us with vital information in expanding our logistics service," Yim said.

"We aim to become a search engine for the air logistics field in which clients can check the information they need in real-time, regardless of time and place. We thus plan to do our best to nourish our customized services to build a stronger partnership, cherishing the meaningful opportunity to join Qatar Airways Cargos' digital transformation," he added.

iNOMAD is an air cargo platform, Korea-based, with a cutting-edge logistics system created by its own software development team and air logistics experts. They have designed the system to transmit and receive information from logistics-related service providers and master loaders, including airlines.

Being the first company connecting API (application program interface) with airlines in Northeast Asia, the platform is operating as an online all-in-one portal that provides air cargo booking, rates, schedule, tracking, etc.

Starting from South Korea, they have been rapidly expanding the business to Hong Kong (established in 2022) and Vietnam (to be launched in 2024).

iNOMAD expects the opening of a logistics centre of 20,000 square meters in September 2023 as an air cargo platform terminal in the Incheon International Airport, which would be a milestone in developing a smart logistics system.

The logistics centre will be equipped with various smart devices and a security x-ray inspection system to provide safe and advanced logistics services.
