The Cargo Connect virtual event will unite aviation stakeholders to discuss collaboration opportunities to boost cargo capacity and capitalise on record-breaking demand for air freight.
The conference agenda features sessions examining digital innovations, sustainability, GSE and airport infrastructure improvements.
Sessions include:
- Cargo trailblazers: AirAsia/Teleport Freightchain – a blockchain based air cargo solution
During the onset of the Covid crisis and amid huge supply chain disruption, AirAsia unveiled a digital cargo solution to boost the ability of freight forwarders to move freight at short notice to key destinations. Freightchain offers forwarders insight on all available cargo network connections operated by airlines and the ability to book in real-time via bids that are verified instantly on the blockchain. Is this the future?
- Cargo trailblazers: quality every time – the hidden role of the ground handler in optimising the cargo journey
The ground handler is a lynchpin in ensuring goods arrive safely, on-time and in immaculate condition within the cargo supply chain. So why aren’t we using more of their expertise? This case study will show the performance benefits of heightened ground handler engagement in your supply chain.

- E-commerce: can cargo keep up with the consumer revolution?
A quarter of the world’s population were shopping online in 2020, with freighters filled to the brim with essential pandemic relief items from home gym equipment to toilet rolls. Air cargo has the requisite speed to satisfy this next day delivery market but will antiquated back of house systems and processes prove our undoing? How can technology and digitisation help us deal with a spectacular rise in volumes?
- Innovation: the power of creative thinking in cargo
Innovation is a key buzzword in aviation during the Covid crisis. But what does cargo innovation entail? Is it inextricably linked to digital adaptions or are there lower cost, employee-led innovations that could help us capture key improvements to efficiency, speed and safety in our cargo services? GHI invites a case study in cargo innovation from dnata and its partner, SPEEDCARGO Technologies.
