The e-freight project aims to eliminate the paper used in today’s air cargo transportation and replace it with the exchange of electronic data and messages.
The AWB is the most important transportation document in air cargo and the replacement of this paper document for an electronic one is the first step to the realization of the e-freight vision.
The e-AWB project replaces the paper AWB with an electronic message for the information in the front and the conditions of contract by an electronic agreement between the freight forwarder and the carrier.

  • The need to print, handle, process or archive paper AWBs no longer exists with e-AWB.
  • It helps reducing delivery time for air freight shipments and operational costs.
  • Eliminates delays due to the paper AWB being misplaced or lost.
  • Improve productivity by eliminating manual tasks and streamlining processes.
  • Improve customer service by speeding up cargo processing.
  • Better reliability as e-AWB brings data accuracy, confidentiality and efficiency.
  • Paving the way towards e-freight.
  • e-AWB is a green initiative that helps reducing CO2 emissions.

    LAN CARGO is taking a single airline approach that involves all air waybills in the LATAM Group; which includes all AWBs with prefixes 045, 145, 985, 865 and 549.

     

    LAN CARGO has implemented the single process; which allows the Freight Forwarders to have one process for all destinations from one given origin.

     
       
             
         
           
     

    LAN CARGO is implementing e-AWB with the Single Process approach and our rollout implementation plan is based on the export stations.
    As of April 2014 we have implemented e-AWB out of MIA, LAX, JFK, SCL and MEX to every destination.

     

    During 2014 we plan to activate more stations to continue increasing e-AWB penetration:
