The global air freight industry plays a crucial role in worldwide trade and transport, responsible for the fast and efficient transport of goods over long distances. The industry is undergoing continuous transformation through digitalization and automation, for example, through real-time tracking systems, artificial intelligence (AI) for optimizing supply chains, drone use for transport, and blockchain technologies to increase transparency and security.

However, the air freight industry also faces challenges regarding environmental impact, particularly from CO2 emissions and noise. There are intensive efforts to develop more environmentally friendly technologies and practices, such as the use of biofuels, more energy-efficient aircraft, and optimized flight routes. Close cooperation among various stakeholders, such as airlines, freight forwarders, airports, and regulatory authorities, is crucial for the efficiency and success of the industry.

In addition to its professional significance, the event location SNIEC in Shanghai is characterized by its modern infrastructure and good accessibility. Shanghai, one of Asia’s most dynamic metropolises, also offers a variety of cultural and business opportunities for visitors to the fair.
