Organised Crime Networks Evolve Tactics to Target High-Value Air Cargo

Organised crime networks are increasingly targeting global supply chains with highly sophisticated and planned operations. These groups are moving beyond simple opportunistic theft, now using technology and insider information to steal high-value cargo. Goods like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury items are the primary targets at airports and in transit. This evolution in criminal strategy involves meticulous surveillance and the exploitation of security vulnerabilities in the logistics chain. The trend is forcing the air cargo industry to urgently re-evaluate and strengthen its security protocols against these advanced threats.
