EVA Air Leads Taiwan’s Air Cargo Industry into a Digital and Sustainable Future with IATA ONE Record Adoption

Mar 5, 2025

EVA Air, in collaboration with Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corp. and Trade-Van Information Services Co., has successfully completed the pilot program of the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) ONE Record standard, becoming the first airline in Taiwan to adopt this new framework. ONE Record is IATA’s next-generation digital standard for air cargo, utilizing Application Programming Interface (API) technology to enable real-time, secure data exchange across the global supply chain. This advancement not only enhances logistics transparency and operational efficiency but also significantly reduces paper-based documentation and carbon dioxide emissions, laying the foundation for the digital transformation and sustainable development of the air cargo industry.

During the trial, EVA Air and Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corp. successfully confirmed the transmission and reception of standardized messages related to key cargo status updates, including Freight on Hand (FOH) and Ready for Carriage (RCS). Additionally, in partnership with Trade-Van Information Services Co., EVA Air completed the testing of data transmission and reception for electronic air waybills (e-AWBs) using the ONE Record standard. These achievements highlight EVA Air’s commitment to digitalizing air cargo operations and its technical expertise to drive innovation.

Compared to traditional formats limited by field structures and character restrictions, ONE Record offers a more flexible and secure data model, enabling air cargo stakeholders to handle vast amounts of complex information more efficiently. Beyond master and house air waybills, the ONE Record standard also supports the digitalization of essential documents such as dangerous goods declarations, customs clearance paperwork, flight schedules, aircraft cargo capacity, pricing, booking details, and specialized cargo management, further advancing the global standardization and digitalization of cargo information flows.

As the first airline in Taiwan to trial IATA’s ONE Record standard, EVA Air remains committed to corporate sustainability by actively promoting paperless cargo operations and smart logistics. By reducing reliance on traditional paper documents, the airline aims to minimize resource consumption and carbon emissions. EVA Air will continue optimizing innovative logistics operations, enhancing cargo service efficiency, and expanding the application scope of ONE Record. Additionally, the airline will collaborate with industry partners on upcoming pilot projects, aligning with IATA’s goal of full-scale ONE Record implementation by 2026 and propelling the air cargo industry toward a more efficient and sustainable future.
