The STAT Trade Times Magazine - February-2026

In this issue

Our Cover Story examines how shifting manufacturing bases, time-sensitive supply chains, and India’s geographic advantage are reshaping its role. The opportunity is real, but positioning and execution will determine the outcome. The Special Report looks at India’s aviation reset. Growth today is not just about adding aircraft or routes; it is about reclaiming capital, improving efficiency and building a policy backbone that supports long-term competitiveness. Technology and transformation run through this edition. We explore how digital twins are changing cargo terminal decision-making, while Caroline Andrews of IAG Cargo reminds us that digital transformation succeeds only when culture evolves with it. We also Spotlight the precision behind international equine logistics, proof that air cargo excellence often happens long before the final event. In our Picture Story, we reflect on The STAT Trade Times’ journey since 1986, evolving with the industry, committed to informing and advancing the global air cargo community.
