This is one of the key findings from a first of its kind whitepaper released this week by The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA).

The conversation explored how partnerships like these can accelerate India’s journey to becoming a global air cargo hub, the power of sustainable collaborations to create greener, more resilient operations, and the vital role of global and regional cooperation as trade patterns evolve.

The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) and Air Cargo Forum India (ACFI) signed an MoU during the ACFI Annual Conclave 2025.

Instead of celebrating high-tech milestones, they tackled the uncomfortable truth: air cargo is still stuck in outdated habits, fragmented systems, and a fear of change.
