Traxon’s CHAMP delivers the message
Cargolux is looking to improve its efficiency.

Cargolux International Airlines, one of the leading global all-cargo carriers, has a track record when it comes to using state-of-the-art technology and driving forward industry initiatives, such as e-freight. The airline increasingly relies on fast paperless communication with its customers and service providers.

Aiming to increase connectivity, efficiency and customer satisfaction whilst reducing costs, Cargolux has chosen Traxon cargoHUB for its electronic messaging. This includes the electronic exchange of FWB (Master Air Waybill Data), FHL (House Air Waybill Consolidation List) and FSU (Freight Status Update) messages worldwide. The integrated host-to-host solution supports numerous transmission protocols and is compatible with all common message formats.

The agreement with CHAMP Cargosystems will give Cargolux access to the global CHAMP network. This enables the Luxembourg freight carrier to do business with all logistics service providers and partners in the air cargo industry on a single uniform platform, using stable host-to-host messaging services. In addition, Cargolux has the option of using several other CHAMP Cargosystems products via Traxon cargoHUB.

As the company is keen to serve small, medium-sized, and large customers equally well, it has recently enhanced its Internet and self-service capabilities with the help of Traxon cargoWEB+. This application, branded for Cargolux, is aimed at forwarders that are not yet EDI capable, but which need to send FWB and FHL messages.
