Air Cargo Tech Trends for 2025

Volatility in e-commerce capacity, supply chain issues and geopolitical tensions globally rocked the air cargo industry throughout 2024. However, all these uncertainties are expected to fade away in the coming few days as conditions are changing gradually. Airports are now continuously looking at building network resilience with a sense of sustainability.

This focus is attributable to CrowdStrike IT outage, which happened in July 2024. When the systems completely depend on technology, it is essential to thwart such outages in a quick span of time. Hence, building resilience will be the focal point for the entire year.

Apart from this, augmented reality and wearables could be the center of discussion around training and real-time data access as immersive learning is the spotlight. Also, there will be continued efforts to leverage big data and predictive AI for forecasting as well as performance monitoring. Deployment of drones and autonomous vehicles to scale-up safety and security in airports too could build up. Possibly there could be a regulation too for drones in the airport ecosystem and its use cases could also be expanded.
