ICAO Global Air Cargo Summit
Session 3: Adequate infrastructure, an essential for air cargo services
1h 40m
Sufficient and quality infrastructure is essential for meeting the present and
future development needs of air cargo and maximizing its potential.
Infrastructure advancement enables air cargo systems to streamline
operations and optimize efficiency. Moreover, modernization in infrastructure is required for air cargo to adapt and cope with the trend of
end-to-end service, and efficiently connect with other modes of transport.
The improved supply chain through more effective intermodal transport
system will ultimately better serve the consumers of the services.
This session will focus on infrastructure development for air cargo
operations and intermodal transport system. Focus would also be on how
States can integrate infrastructure programme in their national
development plan and elevate the role of the private sector in financing
infrastructure to support the development and efficiency of air cargo
operations.
