Industry Faces Challenges From AI To Geopolitical Tensions
The air cargo industry is facing significant challenges from AI, digitalization, shifting trade patterns, and geopolitical tensions. By the end of 2025, e-commerce had accounted for approximately 20% of air cargo volumes worldwide, and AI investments were on the rise. However, the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have led to an energy stranglehold and increased reliance on air cargo. The industry’s response to these challenges, including collaboration and the formation of new partnerships, will be crucial to its future success. This was reported by Air Cargo News.
