Tricargo to offer neutral GSA platform

[ May 26, 2026   //   ]

FEDAGSA, the Federation of Airline General Sales Agents, launched Tricargo, a web-based service that connects sales agents with freight forwarders on 22 May.

It aims to address the problem that existing marketplaces and booking platforms are owned or operated by a participant with a commercial stake in the outcome and none offer forwarders a complete, neutral view of available GSA capacity.

FEDAGSA has partnered with e-commerce parcels company Mark 3 International to take the window to market after recognising that operating a global technology solution at scale requires capabilities and investment beyond those typically available to a federation.

Tricargo will operate as an independent business with structural protections for its neutrality. Mark 3 will have access to tricargo, but on the same terms as any other forwarder or GSA.

Tricargo and Mark 3 International chief executive, Matthew Ware said: “For many years, the air cargo market has been fractured, making it difficult for freight forwarders to easily access the right airfreight options, while GSAs have also found it hard to connect with the right forwarders. The air cargo market has been fragmented for a long time. Forwarders rely on the GSAs they already know; and GSAs depend on existing relationships for new business. Tricargo doesn’t replace those relationships, it makes the wider market visible alongside them.”

Tricargo is free for forwarders to use, and the first 100 GSAs to register will receive founding member status. FEDAGSA and FIATA receive a share of gross revenue under the agreement establishing tricargo’s independent operation and ensuring that tricargo’s success is returned to the community it serves.
