What is IATA ONE Record?

ONE Record is IATA's new data-sharing standard that will replace legacy EDI messaging. OnFlyGo is ONE Record compliant.

The Big Picture:

πŸ—“οΈ Deadline: January 1, 2026 All IATA member airlines must be capable of exchanging data via ONE Record.

What It Replaces:

  • Cargo-IMP (legacy messaging format from 1960s)
  • EDI messages (Cargo-XML)
  • Paper documents and manual processes

Key Concepts:

πŸ“¦ Logistics Objects: Everything is a "Logistics Object" with a unique identifier:

  • Shipment
  • Piece (individual package)
  • Booking
  • Waybill
  • Events (milestones)
  • IoT devices (sensors)

πŸ”— Linked Data: Objects link to each other:

  • Shipment β†’ contains β†’ Pieces
  • Pieces β†’ tracked by β†’ IoT Device
  • Booking β†’ references β†’ Shipment

🌐 API-Based:

  • RESTful API (HTTP)
  • JSON-LD format
  • Standard CRUD operations

Why It Matters for OBC:

  1. Real-Time Visibility:

    • Track shipments across carriers
    • Unified view of cargo journey
    • No more calling for updates
  2. Digital Documentation:

    • Electronic air waybill (e-AWB)
    • Digital customs data
    • Instant document sharing
  3. Faster Processing:

    • Automated data exchange
    • Reduced manual entry
    • Fewer errors
