Shanghai strengthens air cargo development with safety initiative

Calling Shanghai a practical example of digitalization, standardization, and safety through strong coordination, Brendan Sullivan, IATA global cargo head, recognized Shanghai's achievements in air cargo's digitalization and safety management.

According to Sullivan, IATA will work with partners, including Shanghai Airport (Group), to jointly promote the sustainable development of global air cargo to a higher quality.

In response to the increasingly complex challenges of the transportation of dangerous goods, Shanghai Airport (Group) collaborated with IATA to launch the DGTC Shanghai pilot project in 2025. The program has attracted more than 50 airlines and freight forwarding companies to participate so far and has contributed to Shanghai's development as an international air cargo hub.
