- Air Cargo moves more than $ 8 trillion annually, enabling industries such as fashion, food and pharmaceutical preparations to flourish through speed, reliability and global communication.
- The General Manager of Tiaaca Glyn Hughes highlights the decisive role of AirFeright in commercial efficiency, economic development and market diversification – especially amid changing global unrest and policies.
- Future growth in e -commerce, commercial agreements, and emerging markets will be enhanced, which enhances the position of air cargo as a major empowerment factor for prosperity and supply chain flexibility.
Air Cargo remains the cornerstone of global trade, as goods are transported by more than 8 trillion US dollars every year despite their account of only one of the total trade volume. Its speed and reliability supports industries ranging from fashion to food, while enabling economies to participate in global supply chains.
Speaking at the Frankfurt Air Cargo Conference (Tiaca), the Director General of the International Air Charging Association (Tiaca) said in his speech at the Frankfurt Air Cargo Conference (Tiaca). “The value that air freight of trade brings is enormous. Trade has really enabled global prosperity over the past few decades, and this is something that we constantly need to remind ourselves.”
Global economic growth has proven to be flexible in the face of turmoil, from Covid-19 to geopolitical tensions. While the year 2020 witnessed a widespread shrinkage, the recovery was rapid, and the expectations of the 2025 International Monetary Fund were “the most positive, it was over the past twenty years,” Hughes has explained.
The benefit of real time
Airfreight is not only related to moving commodities; It enhances the value by reducing the transportation times of the damageable and high -value products. Hughes explained this with an example from Canada. The pork product that transports the stomach of pork to South Korea through trucks and marine roads increased by 50 percent by shifting to the air screen, and turning business $ 800 million to $ 1.2 billion.
“I have never seen a very happy person to pay a million dollars to a rented plane,” Hughes expressed, confirming that the financial goods that you can provide.
The sector also supports industries such as fashion, as the consumer expectation of rapid rotation has reshaped the retail sale. “Air Cargo supports the evolutionary trend of consumption,” Hughes said. Fast high costumes, which were pioneering by companies such as Inditex, depend on the conditions of air weapons to update inventory across thousands of stores all over the world several times a year.
Fresh products and flowers from Latin America and Africa offer another example. “It is not about the speed that is not related to these products,” Hughes said. “It comes to creating global prosperity, supporting developing markets, and enabling people to send their children to school.”
Mobility in a complex environment
Hughes indicated that trade has become increasingly complicated, especially because of political measures and definitions. He said: “Since he took office, President Trump has issued 103 executive requests, with more than a third influencing trade.”
Global supply chains, which depend on the smooth flow of sub -gatherings and components, are especially sensitive to disorders. Hughes warned that trade is inconsistent with the risks that undermine the effective manufacturing networks that have been built over decades. At the same time, new strategies for diversification of production and markets appear, such as China in addition to one and the United States of America, one. India has created, for example, a business squad to determine 40 new export markets for its own clothing industry. “With the emergence of new markets, the role of air cargo in transporting products becomes more important,” Hughes said.
Opportunities on the horizon
We look forward to the growth of e -commerce, advanced consumer expectations, and new trade agreements to pay more demand for air cargo. The comprehensive regional economic partnership, which brings together 15 states, including China, Japan and South Korea, is the largest free trade zone in the world. “This is an enormous opportunity for commercial growth,” Hughes said.
Despite the challenges, Air Cargo continues to show its ability to enable global trade and economic development. One of the high -speed fashion courses to the damaged food markets and the expansion of free trade areas, Hughes has argued that the industry plays a fundamental role in linking producers and consumers all over the world. “We constantly need to remind ourselves about the great role that this industry played,” he said. “It comes to adding value, creating opportunities, and linking the world.”
