The value of air cargo for trade - white paper of air cargo stakeholders working together to contribute to global trade growth.

The existence of the end-to-end Air Cargo supply chain is the result of a joint work of shippers, air carriers, ground handling operators, freight forwarders, logistics service providers, and hinterland carriers. The Air Cargo supply chain is a vital part of international trade and is necessary to make the present society function. In this paper, the supply chain partners explain the benefits of Air Cargo for the welfare of society and they seek to explain how they collaborate to mitigate the negative impact of air cargo with regards to emissions and noise. Parties also call on policy makers to establish an environment in which innovation is supported and in which the quality and services of air freight are increased by means of competition and investment in infrastructure.
