Jetblue Airways Chooses IBS’ iCargo Solution

After recently completing the implementation of its new passenger reservation system, JetBlue Airways is now implementing iCargo solution. iCargo is an integrated solution that optimizes operations, enhances profitability and provides scalability to the freight business of airlines.

In February at the Air Cargo India 2010 event in Mumbai, IBS — the leading IT systems provider to the travel, transportation and logistics industries — was named the “IT Systems Provider of the Year for the Air Cargo Industry.” This prestigious International Award for Excellence was given to IBS for its cargo management solution, iCargo. IBS now has more than 20 customers for its iCargo solution, of which 14 are already using it in production.

“It’s been a remarkable year at JetBlue Airways,” said Ed McDonald, System Manager Cargo. “Not only have we implemented a completely new passenger reservation system, we are now in the process of replacing our cargo systems as well.” After a thorough review of all the cargo solutions on the market which JetBlue believed could handle its growing business, JetBlue chose to partner with IBS. “There was just no other solution that could compare with IBS’ iCargo solution,” explained McDonald, the JetBlue Cargo head responsible for the decision to choose iCargo. “Designed for multiple users, the system is extremely user friendly, especially for a system that handles such a complex business as moving cargo, and the new U.S. Mail Module which is fully integrated into iCargo does exactly what JetBlue need for it to do,” McDonald said.
