The\u00a0AI SME<\/a>\u00a0will be available initially for the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and the IATA Cargo Handling Manual (ICHM) and will be rolled out progressively across IATA\u2019s suite of reference publications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Facilitating collaboration:\u00a0<\/strong>IATA is launching the\u00a0Air Cargo AI Excellence Hub<\/strong>\u00a0bringing together airlines, ground handlers, freight forwarders, technology providers, and regulators to support the orderly integration of AI in air cargo. The Hub will enable collaboration on best practices in areas such as governance and compliance, the sharing of experiences, and the development and deployment of standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Improving interline air cargo:<\/strong>\u00a0IATA and its Strategic Partners are exploring the potential for AI to achieve efficiencies in interline air cargo. The parties will work together with the aim of developing a use case\u00a0<\/strong>to enable airlines using different IT systems to collaborate in real time on bookings, disruptions, and cancellations by using AI agents to achieve system interoperability among users.
This initiative is part of the\u00a0Data & Technology Proof of Concept (PoC) area in the Strategic Partnerships Program<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe scope for AI to accelerate air cargo\u2019s digital transformation is enormous. <\/strong>Together, these initiatives will help to make the most of AI\u2019s potential with an industry adoption that is consistent, interoperable, and aligned with global aviation standards. Importantly, we will learn from these initiatives to identify additional areas where standards, technological innovation, and collaborative development can enable safer, smarter, and more efficient operations,\u201d said Brendan Sullivan, IATA\u2019s Global Head of Cargo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
