Air Canada Cargo Selects OAG Cargo's AFRA for Their eRate Channel

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

OAG Cargo is pleased to announce that AFRA has become one of Air
Canada Cargo's eRate publishing and distribution channels across its
America network. The introduction coincides with the beginning of the
autumn and winter rate distribution which will now enable AFRA
subscribers to have access to Air Canada Cargo's rates.

AFRA is the leading online rate distribution and management
application; an efficient tool that radically reduces the need for
forwarders to call and negotiate individual shipment rates. Over
9,700 users - representing 418 member airlines, 149 GSAs and more
than 220 freight forwarding companies - access AFRA in an operational
environment on a daily basis.

Commenting on the co-operation with Air Canada, Mr Stephen
Baggett, Director Sales, Americas added: "AFRA is a complete software
solution for airlines looking for an efficient way to distribute
their rates and contribute to improved yield management. We are
delighted that Air Canada has chosen us to take the next step towards
utilising electronic business transactions with their business
partners. OAG Cargo supports IATA's eFreight initiative to drive
business efficiencies and cost savings within the global cargo
transport chain and AFRA is the leading tool to achieve this aim."

AFRA has recently been optimised and enhanced. The application
now benefits from a fresh new look, easy to use navigation and
numerous usability improvements that will help airlines manage their
rates and forwarders secure the best rates for their customers. Among
other new features, AFRA can now capture spot prices and search for
previous spot prices. It also supports both Special Handling Codes
and Special Commodity Rates.
