IATA Survey shows strong industry momentum behind ONE Record

A recent survey conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicates significant levels of awareness and readiness across the air cargo industry for ONE Record, which is set to become the preferred standard for cargo data exchange among IATA members from January 1. According to the survey findings, 70 per cent of respondents are aware of ONE Record, while 50 per cent have indicated readiness to adopt the standard, underscoring growing industry alignment toward a unified data-sharing framework. Commenting on the results, Brendan Sullivan, IATA’s Global Head of Cargo, said that the industry’s direction is clear, with stakeholders moving decisively toward ONE Record and seeking stronger support from IATA as adoption accelerates. He added that IATA will expand opportunities for participation in ONE Record pilot projects, enhance adoption guidance, and work closely with regulators and IT providers to ensure alignment across the ecosystem. The ONE Record standard establishes a single digital language for air cargo, enabling seamless connectivity and data exchange among all partners. Its adoption is expected to modernize air cargo processes, improve transparency, and deliver greater value to customers across the global supply chain.
