Improving the regulatory environment for international air cargo services
through increasing numbers of liberalized bilateral and multilateral air
services agreements, including fifth and seventh freedom traffic rights,
would create notable operational flexibility for air cargo to provide efficient
and cost-effective services on a regional and global basis.
This session would examine how the regulatory environment can be further
liberalized in view of the vital role that air cargo plays in ensuring the
competitiveness and commercial success of many industries across the
globe. The need for different regulatory arrangements from those applying
to international air passenger services, and the development of a specific
international agreement to enable air cargo to respond more efficiently to
market developments and demands, would also be looked at.
