IATA announced launch of IATA Digitalisation Leadership Charter at IATA World Cargo Symposium in Hong Kong
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced the launch of the IATA Digitalisation Leadership Charter at the IATA World Cargo Symposium in Hong Kong.
Cathay Cargo, CHAMP Cargosystems, Global Logistics System Hong Kong Company Limited, IAG Cargo, IBS Software, LATAM Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo are the inaugural signatories
of the charter.
The Digitalisation Leadership Charter aims to accelerate the air cargo industry’s digitalisation journey by committing to five key guiding principles. Developed in consultation with the IATA’s Cargo Advisory Council Members, airlines and the wider air cargo community, the charter seeks to drive innovation, enhance efficiency and promote a sustainable and harmonised digital transformation. Central to the charter is the importance of data sharing using IATA ONE Record for smooth and efficient data exchange.
“Digitalisation is imperative for the air cargo industry. It requires alignment to ensure a unified and effective approach. The IATA has introduced the Digitalisation Leadership Charter to spearhead this alignment. By adhering to the charter’s principles—adopting industry-wide standards, championing sustainability, ensuring ethical technology use and upholding digital leadership—the charter sets a benchmark for excellence,” said IATA Global Head of Cargo Brendan Sullivan.
