SmartKargo, the leading cloud native air cargo management platform, today announced the launch of the Akasa Air Cargo mobile app, extending its digital cargo capabilities to mobile devices and enabling cargo agents and shippers to manage shipments anytime, anywhere.
Developed on the SmartKargo platform, the Akasa Air Cargo mobile app brings together key cargo functions including flight search, booking, real-time shipment tracking, shipment milestones, arrival information and account management within a single intuitive interface. Designed with the modern cargo agent in mind, the app eliminates friction at every touchpoint, enabling faster decision-making and seamless execution without the constraints of a desktop environment. Now available for download on Android platforms, the app is accessible to registered cargo agents and approved shippers operating across Akasa Air’s growing domestic route network.
The launch marks another milestone in SmartKargo’s mission to help airlines modernize cargo operations through scalable, cloud native technology that simplifies the movement of goods while improving customer experience.
Oliver Houri, Chief Revenue Officer, SmartKargo, said “Mobile-first distribution is no longer a competitive differentiator — it is a commercial imperative. The launch of the Akasa Air Cargo mobile app reflects the kind of forward-thinking partnership we champion at SmartKargo. By extending our platform’s core capabilities to a native mobile experience, we are enabling Akasa Air to capture demand at the moment of intent, reduce booking friction, and deepen agent engagement in ways that were simply not possible before. We are proud to power this next chapter of Akasa Air’s cargo growth story.”
Commenting on the launch, Anand Srinivasan, Co Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Akasa Air, said “The future of air cargo will be shaped not only by network scale, but by how seamlessly customers can access and interact with that network. At Akasa Air, we are building a cargo proposition that combines a growing network with technology-led solutions that simplify the movement of goods. The launch of the Akasa Air Cargo mobile app is a significant step in that journey, enabling customers to book, track and manage shipments with greater convenience and transparency. In less than four years since commencing operations, Akasa Air has emerged as a key player in India’s air cargo market, and this launch reinforces our commitment to building a modern, reliable and customer-centric cargo business that supports the country’s evolving trade and logistics landscape.”
Since commencing operations, Akasa Air has carried more than 182,000 tonnes of cargo, establishing itself as one of India’s key air freight operators in under four years. The deployment of the SmartKargo mobile platform further strengthens the airline’s digital cargo ecosystem while supporting the growing needs of India’s logistics sector.
