    Innovation and Technology

    Innovation and Technology

    AI and Automation

    Airlines in 2025 use new technology to move cargo faster and safer. Automation and artificial intelligence help airlines sort, load, and deliver cargo with great care. At Bengaluru Airport, DHL Express built a big automated service center. The center uses telescopic conveyors and wheel sorters. These machines do most of the work and make cargo move faster. The center helps move more electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automotive freight.

    Aspect

    Details

    Facility Size

    17,900 sq ft automated center; 130,000+ sq ft total footprint

    Automation Tech

    Telescopic conveyors, wheel sorters, sequence-based workflow logic

    Benefits

    Faster processing, less manual work, higher shipment throughput

    Market Impact

    Supports SMEs and exporters in key industries

    Airlines are also buying autonomous aircraft and eVTOLs. These vehicles can deliver cargo faster and make less noise. Companies like Lilium and Archer Aviation are testing eVTOLs for business use. Boeing and Airbus are making planes that can fly, taxi, and land by themselves. AI helps airlines spot equipment problems, plan better routes, and use less fuel. AI flight simulators help pilots train and stay safe.

    AI and automation change how airlines handle cargo. AI looks at old data to guess what people will need. This helps airlines plan and not waste supplies. AI also finds the best paths for cargo, saving time and fuel. In warehouses, robots sort and move cargo all day and night. This cuts labor costs and makes delivery faster. AI-powered customer service, like chatbots, gives quick help and order updates.

    Airlines using AI and automation work much better. For example, PostNord used AI to cut truck driving distance by 5-10%. Swiss International Air Lines saved $5.4 million by using less fuel. Lufthansa made wind forecasts 40% better, so there were fewer delays and cancellations.

    JusLink’s AI Solution

    JUSDA is a leader in smart cargo management with its JusLink AI Solution. This platform uses AI to study cargo trends, guess freight rates, and predict sales needs. JusLink helps airlines and shippers make good choices and react fast to market changes. The system has a risk control tower for real-time checks and an assistant called JusElsa.

    JusLink’s AI Solution brings real results. Sharp, a global home appliance maker, had trouble with cargo and freight. After working with JUSDA, Sharp used JusLink to fix its supply chain. The company lowered logistics costs by 20% and labor costs by 70%. Order delivery times got 30% faster. JusLink’s AI helped Sharp manage inventory, plan shipments, and track cargo in real time.

    Enhanced Customer Experience

    Technology makes air express services better for customers. Airlines use AI to give real-time cargo tracking and quick updates. Automated systems make things faster and cut down on mistakes. Customers get their cargo sooner and with fewer problems. For example, Air India Express uses AI-powered marketing to send special updates and tips. This helped the airline earn more money and keep more customers.

    Airlines also use digital platforms to talk with customers. Electronic bag tags and connected systems let people track cargo from start to finish. Contact centers and 24/7 support help fix problems fast. Automated baggage tracing and flexible services keep things running well during busy times.

    Challenges and Outlook

    Supply Chain Risks

    The air express industry has many risks that can slow cargo and make service less reliable.

    • Economic problems can cause big airlines like Amazon and DHL to fly less. This lowers air cargo demand and slows growth.

    • Fights between countries, like the Ukraine conflict, can stop cargo and make airlines change their flight paths.

    • Worker strikes, like pay fights in Germany, can close airports and stop cargo from moving.

    • Digitalization is hard for some companies. They struggle to use electronic air waybills and keep safety data online. This makes shipments take longer.

    • Bad weather, like wildfires, droughts, and floods, can delay shipments and make it harder to move special cargo.

    • Air cargo spot rates can change a lot. This makes it hard for shippers and carriers to plan.
      Experts say companies should buy from more suppliers, keep extra inventory, and be ready to change plans fast.

    Regulatory and Geopolitical Factors

    New rules in 2025 say all cargo must be checked and workers need stronger background checks. Airlines must follow new chain-of-custody rules and get more audits. If they do not follow the rules, they can get fines or have shipments delayed or stopped. Companies spend money on smart security tools and train workers to follow the rules. Wars, like those in Ukraine and Gaza, close airspace and make airlines fly different routes. These changes make it cost more to run flights, slow down deliveries, and limit how much cargo can move. Airlines try new routes and use technology to handle these problems.

    Future of Air Express Services

    The future of air express services has good things and some worries.
