The demand for air freight in e-commerce continues to rise, particularly following a recent strike at U.S. East Coast ports. The focus has shifted to handling dangerous goods, especially lithium batteries, which are critical for electronics and increasingly transported by air.

Companies like Hactl and FedEx are enhancing training and adopting new technologies to improve safety and efficiency in managing these hazardous materials.
