The Air Cargo Forum India (ACFI) has officially announced the 7th edition of the ACFI World Conclave 2026, scheduled to take place on August 12–13, 2026, at Taj Palace, New Delhi. Held under the theme “Reimagining Global Trade: India at the Forefront of Developing Resilient Supply Chains,” the two-day event is expected to bring together more than 700 delegates, including global industry leaders, policymakers, airlines, airport operators, logistics companies, freight forwarders, customs professionals, investors, and technology providers to discuss the future of air cargo, logistics, and resilient global trade.
The conclave will focus on key industry trends such as AI-powered logistics, digital air waybills, automation, multimodal integration, and sustainable aviation solutions. Organizers have also invited Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu as the Chief Guest, alongside senior government officials and regulatory authorities. Industry leaders believe the event will serve as a platform for collaboration, innovation, and policy dialogue to strengthen India’s position as a global logistics hub.
Highlighting the sector’s growth, ACFI noted that India’s air cargo volume increased by 6.2% in FY26 to 3.963 million tonnes, despite global geopolitical uncertainties. International cargo accounted for 64% of total freight, driven by pharmaceuticals, perishables, automotive components, and e-commerce, reinforcing India’s growing role in the global supply chain ecosystem.
