‘Increasing pressure on air cargo to adopt SAF, but it’s still developing & costly’

Malcolm D’souza, Director Airfreight and Member of the Management Board, Jeena & Company said, “There is increasing pressure on the air cargo sector to meet stricter environmental standards, especially as governments adopt more stringent emission reduction targets. Air cargo companies are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, which may involve investing in cleaner technologies like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), but these technologies are still developing and costly to implement. Although some segments of the air cargo industry have adopted digital technologies, many areas remain outdated. For example, paper-based documentation, manual data entry, and lack of integration across platforms still slow down operations. Automation, predictive analytics and blockchain solutions could streamline operations, but not all players are on the cutting edge of adopting these technologies.”
