The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released findings from a survey of cargo industry participants to assess industry awareness, readiness, and support needs for the implementation of ONE Record as the preferred data-sharing standard for air cargo from 1 January 2026. Top line findings show significant levels of awareness and readiness among respondents with:
Over 70 percent showing awareness of ONE Record among respondents, and
Nearly 50 percent indicating readiness.
The survey also indicated expectations of stakeholders for continued IATA support of the initiative in several key areas:
78 percent welcoming more pilots and demonstrations
75 percent seeking additional peer examples and shared learning, and
80 percent asking for regular communication and guidance on the topic.
Keeping these expressed needs in mind, IATA will continue to support ONE Record adoption by:
Expanding participation in ONE Record pilots
Providing training, webinars, and certification opportunities
Sharing best practices and implementation examples, and
Working with regulators and IT service providers to help align adoption efforts.
“The message from the air cargo industry is clear: stakeholders are moving decisively toward ONE Record as the preferred data-sharing standard and are looking to IATA for even stronger support as adoption accelerates. In the coming months, we will expand opportunities to participate in ONE Record pilots and strengthen our adoption guidance for industry partners. At the same time, we will work closely with regulators and IT providers to ensure the alignment needed for ONE Record to modernize air cargo processes and deliver greater value to customers,” said Brendan Sullivan, IATA’s Global Head of Cargo.
