现在,航空货运承运人开始相信技术在增加收益方面所具有的潜力。美国西南航空公司(以下简称“美西南”)不久将启用新的货运预订系统,托运人可以通过互联网预订舱位,无需再像过去那样首先要把货物运到该公司的某个仓库。美西南货运销售经理Wally Devereaux说:“在当前环境下,我们只有在接到货物后才将其列入承运货物清单;但从明年开始,你就可以上网预订舱位。” Airfreight carriers are now beginning to believe the potential of technology to increase revenues. US Southwest Airlines will soon open a new cargo booking system where shippers can book their seats over the Internet instead of having to first deliver the goods to one of the company’s warehouses as they did in the past. Wally Devereaux, Northwest USA sales manager, said: “In the current environment, we only include it on the list of carriers, but you can book online next year.” "
