The carrier - and customer of over two decades - will also implement the newly developed ebooking engine, Cargospot Portal, as well as Cargospot Business Intelligence.

Cargospot Portal will extend the services provided by Cargospot directly to Gulf Air’s customers in its own branding. Services include availability with price, bookings, master/house air waybills, tracking and other related capabilities. The carrier will give its customers total control over their bookings, thereby accelerating the process and response times, while increasing administrative and operational efficiency.
