Conference Introduction:
Industry reports say that the share of cargo volume from cross-border ecommerce channels was 10% of the total air cargo volume. By 2022 it jumped to 20% and by 2027 it is expected to be around 25%. IATA says one out of every five parceled items currently transported has been purchased online, and the figure is set to grow to one in three by 2027. Air cargo will certainly play a very critical and increasingly important role in the movement of cargo originating from ecommerce channels. What does that demand from air cargo industry stakeholders? How do they build their capabilities to handle such rapid increase in cargo volumes originating from ecommerce channels from around the world? How does technology enable movement of cargo with security, speed, efficiency, and transparency?
