R.The 2025 global merchandise symposium is scheduled to open its doors in Dubai on April 15, with three days of discussions and meetings, as well as how the industry can adapt to geopolitical transformations, technological progress and advanced demands.
“WCS is the Premier Air Cargo event, which was held annually,” said Brendan Sullivan, the international head of shipping at the International Air Transport Association (IATA). “This event will combine airlines, ground treatments, freight preparation, airports and solution providers. The entire air supply supply chain will be represented.
“The exhibition center will be full of palaces, as it provides attendance opportunities to communicate with industry leaders and decision -makers, ask questions, and to stay permanently in the latest trends in air cargo.”
Industry forecasts
Air goods showed incredible flexibility in 2024, and in 2025, this force will need to be preserved.
The main priorities that will be discussed in WCS have been set to include the rise of e -commerce, which now represents up to 20 percent of the air freight works.
Digitability will also be the axis, especially the implementation of one record, and how the industry can move to the implementation and size of the real world.
In addition, there will be sessions highlighting medications, data, innovation and operations, which will turn into how these sectors affect the transportation of air cargo.
“The world is changing quickly, with geopolitical risks, technological progress, and advanced customer needs,” expressed.

Cooperation through the supply chain is extremely important, as the event proves a vital place to collect industry leaders to exchange challenges, achievements and visions.
“Through communication and engagement, we gain direct knowledge of the priorities of the industry and its chances and what to do to go forward. This helps to pay the progress we need,” Sullivan stated.
