How does Neele-Vat make air cargo more sustainable?

30-09-2025

Air cargo is known as the fastest modality in international logistics, but also one of the most carbon-intensive. For companies that want to make their supply chains more sustainable while demanding speed and reliability, the question arises: how can air cargo be organized in a greener way? Neele-Vat plays an active role in this by combining innovative solutions, cooperation with sustainable partners and efficient processes.

Context & challenge

Making air cargo more sustainable is a complex task. Aircraft consume a relatively large amount of fuel per ton-kilometer and international regulations set increasingly stringent requirements for emission reductions. At the same time, customers expect fast delivery times, which alternatives such as ocean freight do not always allow. The challenge lies in finding a balance between speed and sustainability, without compromising on delivery reliability or compliance.

How does Neele-Vat contribute to sustainable air cargo?

More efficient capacity utilization

By consolidating shipments, cargo space is optimized. This prevents half-empty planes and reduces CO₂ emissions per pallet or kilo.

Collaboration with sustainable aviation partners

Neele-Vat works with airlines that invest in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), fleet renewal and carbon reduction programs.

Digital optimization

Using track & trace, KPI reports and data analysis, the air cargo process is continuously optimized. This leads to shorter lead times and fewer unnecessary transport movements.

Multimodal linkage

Where possible, Neele-Vat combines air cargo with other modes, such as road, rail or sea, to reduce emissions. Examples include air-sea combinations that balance speed and sustainability.

CO₂ insight and compensation

Customers gain insight into the CO₂ emissions of their air cargo shipments. In addition, Neele-Vat offers options for CO₂ offsets and collaboration with sustainable projects.

Special handling and compliance

Strict compliance with international standards (ISO 22000, GMP+, GDP, Halal, Kosher and SKAL) not only ensures quality is met, but also prevents waste in the chain.
