‘Address high implementation costs, integration challenges & regulatory complexities’

Jalpa H Vithalani, Director, Global Aviation Services said, “Adopting new technologies in air cargo faces multiple constraints, including high implementation costs, integration challenges with legacy systems and regulatory complexities. Additionally, industry-wide awareness is needed to highlight the long-term cost savings, efficiency gains and security enhancements that digital transformation offers. Investments in training and standardised digital infrastructure will drive widespread adoption. However, the air cargo industry is moving towards integrating digital platforms and blockchain to enhance transparency and security. Blockchain enables real-time, tamper-proof tracking of shipments, reducing fraud and ensuring data integrity. Digital platforms streamline documentation, automate processes and enhance efficiency through AI and IoT-driven analytics, reducing delays and operational bottlenecks.”
