THE Indian
government plans to develop an air cargo community system through a public
private partnership, in a bid to lower costs and improve the efficiency of
processing airfreight.
A
report by an Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation committee said that it backed
having a single window system for the air cargo community to interface with
Indian Customs systems to facilitate the "seamless movement of goods and
information," reported London's Air Cargo News.
Ministry of
Civil Aviation senior advisor Renu Singh Parmar said: "Each air cargo shipment
on average carries around 30 types of documents and well over 100 copies, thus
resulting in significant documentation overheads, increased dwell times and
supply chain opaqueness."
He
said the electronic platform will eliminate duplicate data entry, reducing
unnecessary paperwork by giving authorised access to data to the relevant
supply chain stakeholder, and bring in supply chain visibility "thereby
reducing inventory and other transaction costs related to air cargo
movement."
"The
information exchange is many-to-many resulting in complex/duplicate
processes," the report added. "Further, there is a lack of uniformity
for message interface, a lack of data harmonisation, and a lack of end-to-end
tracking."
