DESCARTES SOLUTION STREAMLINES AIR SHIPMENT DATA EXCHANGE WITH IATA'S ONE RECORD

The Descartes Systems Group Inc.'s Descartes Air Messaging solution has streamlined the transmission of air shipment data according to the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) One Record messaging standard. IATA's One Record initiative aims to help airlines, their partners and service providers digitize air cargo messaging services by Jan. 1, 2026, replacing the traditional exchange of documents using Cargo-IMP and Cargo XML standards.

"Lufthansa Cargo is committed to digitization initiatives and projects that better connect our customers to their stakeholders and that facilitate easier and faster transportation of air cargo shipments," said Dr. Christian Lehr, senior director, global fulfilment development, at Lufthansa Cargo. "The ability of Descartes's solution to support the One Record standard is an important step in helping us provide customers with a more efficient, real-time data-sharing model using a single record for each shipment."

Designed specifically for the air cargo industry, Descartes Air Messaging supports a broad range of data standards and message specifications to share air shipment information across regional and global operations, including application programming interfaces (APIs), such as One Record, electronic data interchange (EDI) and direct system-to-system connectivity. With more accurate and up-to-date air shipment information, the air cargo industry is better positioned to increase transparency, improve efficiency and ultimately speed up the movement of freight.

"We're pleased to support the One Record standard," said Scott Sangster, general manager, logistics services providers, at Descartes. "Air industry customers have long relied on Descartes to provide a strong bridge with their trading partners in order to exchange air shipment information using traditional messaging standards. IATA's One Record project presents a new opportunity to strengthen those relationships by supporting new ways in which air cargo data is shared and managed to streamline processes, reduce costs and enhance the customer experience in air cargo operations."
