Air Freight Tracking
Follow air shipments from tender through arrival and recovery
Track air freight with AWB-level and flight milestones so forwarders and shippers see tender, departure, arrival, and recovery status in the TMS.

The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Air status is fragmented across airline portals and agent emails. High-value freight needs faster, clearer milestone control.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS records air milestones on the shipment and legs, linking flight events to inland pickup/delivery and customer communications.
What you can do
Air Freight Tracking is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Capture AWB and flight-level tracking milestones
Link air legs to pre- and post-carriage trucking
Normalize airline/agent events onto the shipment timeline
Alert on missed connections and arrival slips
Expose air status to customer tracking where permitted
Retain milestone history for claims and service reviews
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- Tighten control on time-critical air moves
- Reduce status chasing across airline and agent portals
- Coordinate trucker pickup against actual flight arrival
- Feed predictive ETA and exception workflows for air legs
Typical use cases
Forwarders managing airport-to-door air consignments
Shippers monitoring critical spare-parts air freight
Control towers coordinating trucker recovery after landing

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for operations, IT, and finance evaluators.
Does air tracking support consolidations?+
Air legs can sit under master shipments with house-level commercial linkage for visibility and billing.
Can delays cascade to trucking legs?+
Yes. Arrival slips can update downstream pickup plans and trigger alerts.
Is airline portal login still required?+
Integrated feeds reduce portal checking; exception cases may still need carrier confirmation.
