e-Freight
What is e-Freight?
Qatar Airways Cargo fully supports e-freight, an IATA global project involving end-to-end stakeholders of the supply chain. e-freight aims to reduce, if not eliminate, paper documentation and replace it with the e xchange of electronic data and messages. To start the e-freight process, customers should already be using e-AWB and the origin station should be e-freight feasible, which means capable of accepting shipments without the bulk of paper documentation.
