The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and Maqta Technologies Group, part of AD Ports Group, announced a partnership with Etihad Cargo to introduce new features to the Advanced Trade and Logistics Platform (ATLP) to unify trade and logistics services across the emirate.

Developed and operated by Maqta Technologies Group, ATLP serves trade and logistics services across Abu Dhabi, including air, land, sea, and industrial free zones.

Streamlining air cargo operations

The platform’s new functionalities are designed to enhance the export rate determination and booking process for air shipments, thereby enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction for logistics providers in Abu Dhabi.

The latest enhancement is meant to ensure that stakeholders can make informed decisions, perform seamless bookings, and stay compliant with regulations, setting a new standard for air export operations.

The update will give logistics providers in Abu Dhabi real-time access to Etihad Cargo’s extensive network with immediate visibility of available capacity and pricing, enabling swift and accurate booking decisions.

Services from Etihad Cargo and Etihad Airport Services, the designated ground handling agent, will be integrated into the platform. The update also streamlines operations for freight forwarders holding Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS) numbers.

Mohammad Al Kamali, Chief Trade and Industry Officer, ADIO, said through the collaboration among all partners, traders can now leverage actionable, real-time data for more precise, informed decision-making, while enhanced optimization significantly cuts processing times.

“Abu Dhabi remains dedicated to delivering cutting-edge trade and logistics solutions, reinforcing its ambition to cultivate a dynamic trade environment,” he said.

Dr. Noura Al Dhaheri, CEO of Maqta Technologies Group and Digital Cluster- AD Ports Group, said the launch of the new features on Abu Dhabi’s official single trade window, ATLP, reflects the company’s commitment to driving innovation, enhancing efficiency, and delivering value to its stakeholders.

“We are confident that this collaboration with Etihad Cargo will accelerate trade via air, further strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global trade and logistics hub,” Al Dhaheri said.

Stanislas Brun, Vice President Cargo at Etihad Cargo, said the latest enhancement aligns with the company’s commitment to delivering innovative, customer-centric solutions that streamline air cargo operations.
