TIACA Secretary General Daniel Fernandez has noted that despite positive evidence from the last few months, it is clear that an economic recovery remains patchy.
The volcanic eruption in Iceland came at an unfortunate time, but brought home to the public in a vivid way the crucial role airfreight plays in keeping our shop shelves filled. And as SCMR news today reflects, shippers are still cautious about relying on air cargo for sourcing and distribution.
“We will continue to make governments and regulators aware of the importance of air in maintaining a reliable global supply chain,” added Fernandez.
