Welcome to the sixth episode of Future of Transport: Innovative and Sustainable, delivered to you by Edmonton International Airport (YEG). In this episode, we explore how digitalisation is reshaping the air cargo industry to drive sustainability, efficiency, and innovation. As outdated systems from the 1970s continue to hold back operational progress, new digital frameworks and tools are being adopted across major industry players to streamline data, enhance collaboration, and reduce environmental impact.
This episode highlights how organisations like Edmonton International Airport (YEG), Jettainer, IATA, cargo.one, Hactl, DHL Supply Chain, and Dachser among others are leveraging AI, automation, real-time analytics, and standardised data-sharing frameworks to optimise cargo operations and reduce emissions. It also looks at how digital solutions like ShipAlberta are helping regional businesses grow and compete globally by offering cost-effective and efficient logistics options.
From predictive maintenance and load balancing to smart routing and data-driven decisions, discover how digital transformation is enabling air cargo stakeholders to work smarter, greener, and more collaboratively. As the sector embraces technology, the focus now is not just on operational gains—but on building a sustainable future for global trade.
