2021 was yet another turbulent year, to say the least. However, despite COVID-19 outbreaks at major airports, ongoing capacity struggles and numerous supply chain disruptions, the airfreight industry has remained resilient and flexible through innovative solutions and changes to typical operations. Freight forwarders launched own-controlled networks, industry operators adopted new technologies to provide greater transparency throughout the supply chain, and industry acquisitions were on the rise.

In this episode of “On Air with Air Cargo World,” Associate Editor Kelly Stroh speaks with Cathy Roberson, president of Logistics Trends & Insight and an Air Cargo World columnist, about digitalization efforts across the airfreight industry, risk management, this year’s acquisition market and what forwarders and shippers might expect in the year to come.
