Royal Jordanian inaugurated the e-freight system in collaboration with CHAMP Cargosystems (CHAMP). The new system will enable cargo agents to conduct cargo bookings and create airway bills through system website

e-freighting is one of the initiatives of IATA's Simplifying the Business (StB) program launched a few years ago. It has become an industry-wide initiative involving carriers, freight forwarders, ground handlers, shippers and customs authorities. It aims to take the paper out of air cargo and replace it with electronic data and messages.
The e-freight system connects directly with the electronic system that is applied at the Jordanian Customs Department and other concerned parties, thus easing and accelerating clearance of goods and delivery to the consignee. Royal Jordanian organized training courses for the local cargo agents to acquaint them with the new system, its services and facilities.
Royal Jordanian has two Airbus A310 dedicated to carrying cargo, each of 35-ton capacity. It also carries cargo in the holds of its passenger aircraft.
