The global airline industry generates nearly $1 trillion in revenue, with air cargo accounting for about 15% of this. Despite advancements in passenger technology, the air cargo sector largely relies on outdated methods like emails and phone calls. Companies like Hellmann Logistics are striving to enhance digital solutions, such as their Hellmann Express Airfreight, which utilizes real-time tracking and seamless booking. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) aims to standardize data sharing through ONE Record by 2026, facilitating improved transparency and efficiency in the industry. AI is increasingly being integrated to optimize pricing and enhance operational efficiency, signaling a shift towards a fully digitalized air cargo landscape.
