IBS was selected to replace Etihad Cargo's existing system after an intense selection process that spanned several months. Once implemented, iCargo will connect an international team of users across the business and will interface seamlessly with a host of other system applications within the IT landscape of the airline. The real-time availability of operational information through iCargo will help generate actionable intelligence, vastly improving and streamlining the selling process, revenue generation and quality of service. In addition, through its online booking capability, Etihad Cargo will enable an additional channel that will allow it to be open for business 24 hours a day.

Etihad has chosen iCargo as part of its move to a futuristic and fully integrated platform. In the new business model, where IT becomes the enabler, iCargo will address the airline's need for a solution to manage their inventory sales and operations.

Etihad Cargo is the cargo division of Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE. From its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport, it operates a fleet of 10 freighters, which is complemented by the bellyhold capacity on its passenger fleet of more than 100 aircraft, to Europe , North America , Asia , Australia , the Middle East , the Indian Subcontinent and Africa . The business serves various industries, offering specialised products and services covering general and premium freight, as well as valuable cargo including live animals.
