Intro
Descartes (Jaguar partner) is offering Automated Air Status Update Service
This service allows airfreight shipments booked directly by Jaguar with the airlines, to be fed automatic status updates (departure and arrival dates), removing our need to manually check and then update the status of Airfreight shipments.
It is our understanding that in order to send updates Descartes needs to receive only MAWB number.
Logic & Conditions for Status Updates to be sent & received
- Airline must participate in air status messaging. The list of current, participating airlines can be found under the Admin Menu > Air Status/EUAN Admin see [[]].
NOTE: If any of the airport of departure, transshipment or destination, that's set in the CT record and it's master does not exist and/or match the airlines message we receive, the message will be ignored and the record will not be automatically updated.
Mandatory Fields
The following needs to be filled in order to receive automatic updates.
- Airline Name
- MAWB Number(all 11 digits)
- Airport of Departure Name
- Estimated Departure Date
Note: Once the above mandatory fields are set in the CT record and/or the Master record, a message will automatically be created (in the background) and sent to the airline requesting the status information according to the MAWB #. Once the airline confirms the departure, a message will be received (in the background) and then the CT record and/or the Master record will update accordingly.
Optional Fields
The following fields are optional but if/when they are filled automatic updates will be received.
- Airport of Transshipment name
- Airport of Transshipment Estimated Departure Date
