The Allplane Podcast #62: the world of air cargo, with Zvi Schreiber (Freightos)

Zvi Schreiber is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Freightos a digital platform that facilitates the booking of air cargo shipments.

The idea for Freightos came up a few years ago when Zvi was managing a hardware firm that had to ship stuff from Asia to Europe and America and realized then that the process was far from smooth.

When it comes to digitalization, the air cargo industry has lagged behind its passenger-carrying counterpart and this is precisely what Freightos and its Webcargo unit have set to fix.

But besides this inspiring tale of disruption and entrepreneurship, we also talk more generally about the air freight industry, because this is an area of aviation that doesn’t usually enjoy much public visibility.

What are the processes involved in air cargo? Who are the different counterparties involved?

And, very importantly, what have been the effects of covid and war in air logistics? Can air freight alleviate somehow the current strain that global supply chains are experiencing?

Tune in for some great insights about the world of air cargo!
