IATA PUTS AGENDA TO IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS FOR AIR CARGO VALUE CHAIN
KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 (Bernama) -- The International Air Transport
Association (IATA) has laid out four important points as part of the
strategy for the air cargo value chain to improve its competitiveness.
The four are security, e-freight, quality and safety, said IATA's Director General and Chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Bisignani.
In a statement here Tuesday, Bisignani said air cargo must offer better quality and improved efficiency with operations that are safer and even more secure.
"An efficient air cargo industry is in everybody's interest. Transporting 35 per cent by value of goods traded internationally, it is critical to the global economy," he added.
According to Bisignani, improving competitiveness requires a team effort, across the air cargo value chain.
He said airlines, forwarders and shippers must work with governments on common goals to solve air cargo's key issues.
