Air freight is fast, but is it smart, efficient, or sustainable? Not always. In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I chat with Chris Condon, Founder and CEO of Aircon, about how AI and automation are helping small and mid-sized freight forwarders compete at scale, and cut emissions in the process.
Chris shares how Aircon’s Captain Cargo platform enables real-time quoting, smarter booking, and predictive exception handling to avoid delays and maximise cargo space. We dig into why quoting speed often matters more than price, what makes air freight so inefficient, and how consolidating loads can reduce unnecessary flights.
If you’re working in supply chain, freight forwarding, logistics, or sustainability, and you’re trying to future-proof your operations, this episode is for you.
🎧 Topics we cover:
• Why air freight is broken, and how to fix it
• The role of AI in sustainable cargo consolidation
• How small forwarders can finally compete with global giants
