ACAAI calls for transforming trade amid global constraints

Ahead of 49^th ACAAI Annual Convention this November, Vikram Kumar, VP, Air Cargo Agents Association of India (ACAAI) said, “By harnessing digital technologies, and data-driven insights etc, stakeholders can overcome physical and policy barriers, enhance transparency, and build resilience.” He said, “The theme calls on the industry to turn constraints into opportunities — altering trade by rethinking processes, strengthening partnerships, and driving sustainable, technology-enabled growth.” The 49^th ACAAI Convention’s theme, ‘Connected yet Constrained: Transforming Trade Amidst Rising Barriers’, is thought-provoking. It captures the paradox confronting global trade today, while digitalisation, automation, and real-time data have made the world more connected than ever. It highlights the need for the air cargo industry to view connectivity not merely as a tool for efficiency but as a catalyst for transformation.
