Paper pushed through on “Air Cargo Liberalization”
MONTREAL, Sept 19 (WorldACD) - Airports Council International (ACI), the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) and The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) have pushed through a joint Information Paper on "Air Cargo Liberalization" at the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) triennial assembly which is currently taking place in Montreal.
"Air cargo is a dynamic force in the interdependent global economy because of its vital role in underpinning global trade and the global supply chain. Air cargo traffic rights should be liberalized to take account of the imperative for speedy delivery times and should be separated from passenger rights, since they involve different markets and different issues,” an Executive summary reads.
"Cargo’s pivotal role in the global economy is best served by fully liberalised market access, a step already taken by several States," it adds.
