‘Data is the new oil’. As the air cargo sector moves towards rapid digitalisation and a new collaborative model has emerged, how can aviation stakeholders derive value from their own data and from the ever-changing and dynamic market data to plan ahead and optimise their business operations?

With a customer base of more than 200 airlines, GSA’s, ground handlers and freight forwarders, CHAMP Cargosystems is leading the charge in the industry when it comes to providing IT solutions and applications that cover core cargo systems, enterprise systems, community and distribution services, compliance services as well freight forwarding solutions.

Hailing from the background of telecommunications and the passenger side of the business, Chris McDermott, CEO, CHAMP Cargosystems sheds light on the company’s new market analytics service, its flagship cargo management suite- Cargospot and how the role of digitalisation can help the industry in reaching its ambitious goal of being net-zero by 2050!

These discussions were part of an interview McDermott did with Lakshmi Ajay, Associate Editor of STAT Media as part of ‘Conversations’ - an exclusive interview series from the recently concluded World Cargo Symposium hosted by IATA in Istanbul in April 2023.
