Akasa Air Cargo now lets freight agents book and track shipments from an Android phone. The airline launched a mobile app built on SmartKargo's cloud-native cargo platform, pulling flight search, booking, live tracking, milestone updates, and arrival data into one interface.
Oliver Houri, SmartKargo's chief revenue officer, called mobile-first distribution a commercial imperative, not a differentiator. The app targets the moment-of-intent capture–agents can book a shipment without being tethered to a desktop. That reduces booking friction and deepens agent engagement, he said.
Anand Srinivasan, Akasa Air's co-founder and chief commercial officer, framed the launch as part of a larger cargo proposition built on network scale and technology-led convenience. Akasa has moved more than 182,000 tonnes of cargo since starting operations less than four years ago, making it one of India's faster-growing air freight operators. The mobile app, he added, gives customers greater transparency and control.
India's air cargo market is expanding with the broader e-commerce and logistics boom. Traditional booking workflows relied on phone calls, emails, or portal-based systems that don't travel well. A mobile-native option lowers the barrier for small cargo agents and shippers who need quick quotes or real-time tracking on the go. For Akasa, a private airline, the move builds its digital reputation against larger listed rivals such as IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation) and SpiceJet, which are also modernizing their cargo platforms.
SmartKargo's platform powers the app. The company, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has offices in India, the Philippines, Brazil, the UAE, the UK, and Canada. It helps airlines and small-package shippers turn air speed into a competitive edge.
The app is available now for Android users who are registered cargo agents or approved shippers on Akasa's domestic route network. An iOS version has not been announced.
