How Innovation and Collaboration Are Transforming the Air Cargo Industry
Our colleague Hans van Schaik, Sales Director at SACO Airport Equipment, was recently interviewed on the The Eva Podcast, where he shared valuable insights about the air cargo industry and the challenges businesses face today. The sector is grappling with labour shortages, short-term contracts, and investment challenges. Yet, innovation offers hope: automation, digitisation, and a focus on more efficient processes, such as replacing heavy forklifts with slave pallets, could make a real difference.

Hans emphasised that true progress comes from engaging employees and fostering a shared vision among stakeholders like airlines, ground handlers, and airports. In the US, he sees significant opportunities through new infrastructure projects and the adoption of smart solutions inspired by Europe.
His message?
The future is bright for those who collaborate and dare to invest in improvement.
