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 [[]].
Once the #Mandatory Fields are confirmed in the CT record and/or the Master record, automatically a message will be created and sent in the background to the airline requesting the status information according to the MAWB #. Once the airline confirms depature, a message will be sent and received in the background and then the CT record and/or the Master record will update accordingly.
NOTE: If any of the airport of departure, transshipment or destination, that are set in the CT record and it's master, does not exist and/or match the message we receive from the airline, 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
