Emirates SkyCargo Launches Digital Payment Platform in UAE

PayCargo, a digital logistics payment platform, has launched in the United Arab Emirates with Emirates SkyCargo as the first regional carrier to adopt the solution, marking a significant shift from traditional, often cash-based, cargo payment systems. The platform connects carriers, freight forwarders, and vendors on a single digital interface, enabling customers to make instant payments via credit card or direct debit, which facilitates same-day or next-business-day cargo release. This integration aligns with Emirates SkyCargo's strategy to enhance operational efficiency and customer service through smart technology and digital innovation. Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President at Emirates SkyCargo, emphasized that this partnership positions the airline at the forefront of logistics evolution by providing faster, more secure transactions and addressing industry-wide challenges in air freight capacity access. Eduardo Del Riego, President and CEO of PayCargo, highlighted the platform's ability to eliminate manual payment processes, saving customers valuable time and improving reliability. The collaboration builds on a strategic alliance formed between PayCargo and Seed Group, signaling a broader commitment to digital transformation in the cargo industry.
