AI-Powered Cargo Load Planning for Airlines

Load Planning built for airlines

Airlines that depend on load planning can no longer absorb the cost of spreadsheet-and-email workarounds. Manual load planning costs airlines revenue on every single flight. Planners using spreadsheets and legacy tools make errors that cause delays, weight and balance issues, and suboptimal ULD utilization. Belli's AI load planning engine automates the entire build-up process — optimizing cargo placement across ULD positions in real time, validating weight distribution against aircraft limits, and maximizing revenue per available position on every departure.

Belli's load planning targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality for Airlines

The friction is specific, not generic.

• EDI integration taking months instead of days
• Fragmented systems across booking, warehouse, and revenue
• Legacy CMS contracts locking you into 18-month implementations

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

• Automated AWB creation and electronic transmission
• 10-day go-live from contract signature
• Real-time ULD utilization and capacity visibility

Before Belli: Planners spend 45-90 minutes per flight on manual load plans. Errors cause last-minute offloads, weight penalties, and revenue loss. After Belli: AI generates optimal load plans in under 60 seconds. Zero weight violations. 12% average revenue recovery from better ULD utilization.

How Belli's Load Planning works

Belli's load planning runs as one connected workflow.

In practice, that means hazmat and special cargo constraint checking, visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override, and integration with airline departure control systems. Belli also covers multi-leg load plan continuity. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Going live in 10 days

Go-live is measured in days, and the date is contractual. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners. Cutover happens with a Belli engineer on the line, not a ticket queue. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Airlines

Here is the case in plain terms. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. Belli turns load planning from a cost center into a measurable gain — 12% revenue recovery. The best operators already move at this pace. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
