E-freight

In 2013, Panalpina became the first company in the world to achieve completely paperless flights for general air freight.

Following an industry-wide initiative to eliminate paperwork from the sky, which IATA kicked off in 2006, firms began working to this goal.

We are now at the front of the global e-freight race.

“Panalpina is showing great leadership in adopting e-freight and assisting our efforts in transforming the future of the air freight industry.”

Desmond Vertannes, global head of cargo at IATA.

Cutting the time, cost and environmental waste that paperwork adds to air freight – not to mention space – is an important and challenging mission.

Panalpina has met with much of the industry as well as authorities and invested significantly in people and IT to make e-freight a reality.
