Taiwan Air Freight Market Trends:

Digitization and Technological Integration

Taiwanese cargo terminals and air freight frms are embracing AI, automation, and blockchain to streamline operations and improve transparency. Taoyuan's terminals implement automated sorting, robotic cargo handling, and real‑time tracking, reducing errors and transit times. Airlines use AI for predictive demand forecasting and dynamic pricing, optimizing routing and capacity. Blockchain and e‑AWB deployment enhance documentation and security compliance. These digital transformations strengthen Taiwan air freight market growth by improving efficiency, resilience, and service reliability in volatile global trade environments. For instance, in March 2025, EVA Air became the first airline in Taiwan to adopt IATA’s ONE Record digital standard for air cargo, marking a major step toward smart logistics and sustainability. In collaboration with Evergreen Air Cargo and Trade-Van, the pilot confirmed real-time, secure data exchange and reduced reliance on paper. ONE Record enhances cargo transparency, efficiency, and environmental performance. EVA Air aims to expand the system’s scope and support IATA’s global rollout by 2026, reinforcing its leadership in Taiwan’s digital air freight transformation.

Sustainability and Green Logistics

Environmental concerns are pushing Taiwan’s air freight industry toward sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and carbon reduction strategies. Leading carriers are integrating SAF blends, optimizing flight routes to reduce emissions, and exploring hybrid aircraft for regional transport. Cargo facilities invest in energy‑efficient systems and eco‑friendly ground operations. These green initiatives also align with international environmental regulations in Europe and North America. Emphasizing eco‑responsibility not only meets global standards but enhances brand value, underpinning Taiwan air freight market growth through differentiation and regulatory compliance. For instance, in October 2024, Taiwan’s China Airlines, partnering with Morrison Express, launched the first Taiwanese freighter flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reducing carbon emissions by 80%. This marks a milestone in Taiwan’s air cargo sustainability efforts, supporting the goal of Net Zero emissions by 2050. China Airlines leads SAF adoption in Taiwan, promoting eco-friendly cargo operations and supply chain sustainability. Morrison Express became the first company to join China Airlines’ SAF partnership program for green logistics solutions.

The partnership supports Turkish Cargo’s global network expansion and enhances cargo capacity through Atlas Air’s expertise in widebody operations. With over 110 metric tons of payload, the aircraft will serve key trade routes. This strategic collaboration reflects growing demand for long-haul cargo solutions and reinforces both companies’ positions in the global air logistics industry.
• In April 2025, Hong Kong Air Cargo and Turkish Cargo signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance collaboration in global air cargo operations. The agreement focuses on potential codeshare arrangements, joint freighter use, and expanded route connectivity. Both airlines aim to integrate their operational strengths to offer more efficient and customer-centric cargo solutions. Turkish Cargo also plans to expand its network to 150 cargo destinations and grow its freighter fleet to 44 aircraft by 2033.
• In March 2025, Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) will deliver its first Airbus A330-300 converted freighter to Turkey’s ULS Airlines Cargo, followed by a second in April.
