The Challenges to Overcome to Unlock AI’s Value for Air Cargo
There’s often a misconception that AI in itself will be able to solve some of the industry’s biggest challenges. Over time, it has become evident that AI doesn’t address a foundational issue: airlines must still strategize on how data can optimize commercial decision-making. AI doesn’t replace the need for commercial teams to devise innovative use cases that drive value through better decision-making. AI should be viewed as an enabler rather than an end goal.

In Air Cargo we move shipments from A to B, a simple job, right?! Think again: in today’s ever-changing geo-political context, trade and transport is the proverbial ball being kicked around in the power-play game around the world. It is overwhelming work when we look at the risk and liability topics that the Transport Service Providers (TSP) have to assess before moving cargo.
TIACA supports its members and works with industry partners and regulators to advocate and drive change for a safe, profitable and united air cargo industry that embraces modern technologies and practices to sustainably and fairly serve trade and social development worldwide.
