Airport congestion and operational inefficiencies resulting in high cargo dwell time, tonnes of paper waste and increasing labour costs, can be alleviated through the implementation of a common digital platform, More told delegates at the Air Cargo India convention in Mumbai, India today.

“Air Cargo Community systems act as an ‘Air Cargo Single Window’, that facilitates ease of business and global trade by eliminating duplication of data entry, reducing unnecessary paperwork, tackling airport congestion issues, and bringing shipment visibility to all stakeholders,” More said as part of a panel discussion about how digitalisation is increasingly becoming inevitable for air cargo operations.

“Delivering end-to-end collaboration through a single platform is imperative to ensuring our industry fully embraces digitalisation, as it is essential for facilitating better coordination, resource optimisation, and rapid information exchange between all parties involved.”
