IATA Cargo Hackathon will be hosted by Qatar Airways Cargo

From November 24 to November 26 in Doha, Qatar Airways Cargo will serve as the venue for the subsequent IATA One Record Hackathon. The hackathon is a 24-hour event that brings together groups of developers to collaborate on creative answers to business problems. The winners get the chance to discuss and explain their solutions to the industry. Solutions are presented to a jury. 

The ONE Record data sharing standard and API connections are to be used by teams as a foundation for developing solutions to improve freight products. The hackathon aims to create new concepts based on industry standards, disruption through the creation of novel goods and services, and standard improvement through exposure to the developer community.

"We look forward to welcoming creative minds to Qatar to be a part of this exciting weekend and have the chance to churn out great ideas for the industry and also explore our diverse and wonderful city," said Guillaume Halleux, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways. "Qatar Airways Cargo is at the cutting edge of modern technology and is constantly investing in innovative solutions to improve overall performance, visibility, and operational efficiency." "Digitalization experts from around the world will gather to put the IATA data sharing standard ONE Record through its paces and demonstrate innovative use cases that will change air cargo," stated Brendan Sullivan, global head of cargo for IATA.

The 2015 debut of IATA's hackathon initiative first concentrated on the retailing capabilities of airlines.
