CMA CGM Air Cargo has successfully implemented CHAMP Cargosystems’ AI-powered Cargospot Weight & Balance solution, designed to streamline freighter aircraft load planning.
Leveraging advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, the Cargospot Weight & Balance system quickly generates fuel-optimised and safe load plans in seconds via its Autoload feature, significantly reducing the time spent on manual load planning. According to CHAMP, this process previously took over an hour, enabling load masters to focus on critical flight safety tasks during aircraft turnaround.
This implementation of the Cargospot Weight & Balance solution follows CMA CGM Air Cargo’s adoption of several other CHAMP Cargosystems products, including Cargospot Airline, Cargospot Portal, Cargospot Business Intelligence, and Traxon cargoHUB, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Khaled Chamsuddine, product manager for Weight & Balance at CHAMP, praised the solution’s impact on CMA CGM Air Cargo’s operations:
“By leveraging our software, CMA CGM Air Cargo delivers fast, safe, and fully optimised flight load plans, which not only reduce fuel burn but also contribute to cost savings and help achieve their environmental sustainability goals.”
David Linford, Vice President of Sales and Account Management at CHAMP Cargosystems, highlighted the relevance of the solution for freighter operations:
“Cargospot Weight & Balance is perfectly suited for freighter operations and is an ideal addition to the toolkit of an innovative carrier like CMA CGM Air Cargo. By utilising our solution, CMA CGM Air Cargo ensures enhanced accuracy, ease, and safety for its air cargo flights.”
In addition to the Weight & Balance solution, CHAMP Cargosystems also launched the Traxon Multi-Carrier API in October 2024, allowing forwarders and shippers to compare availability and pricing and make bookings across multiple airlines, enhancing flexibility and transparency for global shipments.
