Smoother runway for air cargo logistics

At last, the air cargo logistics industry can look for some shiny days ahead. The way things are being speeded up suggests that the Government is serious about improving the industry’s standards to international levels.
First, the Government set up a working group consisting of officials from various departments and eminent personalities to look at issues from all angles. The group was asked to suggest ways to improve the industry, which handles nearly one-third of the country’s international trade.
Second, an Air Cargo Logistics Promotion Board, which would be an Inter-Ministerial Group, was set up to steer through the reforms suggested by the group.
One of the board’s frameworks is to lay down policy guidelines for setting up of air cargo facilities at airports and air freight stations/cargo villages, including guidelines for public-private partnerships for development of these facilities.
