THE International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has outlined
five key challenges that must be addressed to ensure a successful
air cargo industry after completing a year-long transformation programme,
which has created a forward-looking association that is well positioned to
unite and represent all sectors of the supply chain, reflecting its broad
membership composition.
"The industry has demonstrated over the last 12 months
how effective it can be when all of the supply chain partners unite around a
common objective, supporting the global community through the Covid-19
pandemic. Our industry came together initially by transporting personal
protective equipment (PPE) and other life essentials, and then mobilised to
provide the only effective transport mode to support global vaccine distribution,"
said Glyn Hughes, TIACA's director general.
TIACA has identified key industry priorities that will need
to be embraced by the entire supply chain in order to modernise and continue to
provide enhanced solutions addressing shipper and other customer demands.
The post-Covid traveller is hyper-conscious of
touch points and will therefore have an inclination towards touchless
technologies. Investment in this technology not only
reassures the passenger, but it also creates operational efficiencies and a
more seamless travel experience.
The key challenges and call to action defined by TIACA are digitalisation,
sustainability, safety and security, liberalisation and partnership and
collaboration.
"TIACA is committed to working with its members, the
broader industry, association partners and government agencies to ensure that
we have a united and successful air cargo industry. We have demonstrated
considerable success over the past months, but, as we go forward, new
challenges will materialise. We will need be more innovative, agile and focused
as an industry to overcome them," stated Steven Polmans, chair of
TIACA.
