Air cargo industry leaders called for 100 per cent e-freight adoption at Clear View, a Kale Thought Leadership Summit for Air Cargo, which took place in Dubai, UAE recently.

 

The summit was a first-of-its-kind interactive platform, which witnessed a very encouraging participation from leading airlines, airport cargo handlers, industry associations, regulators and prominent industry consultants.

​

It discussed industry issues in a round table format involving all the participants. 

 

There were four power packed and focused sessions over one and half days on the industry relevant subjects covering- Changing Business Environment- Need for Innovation; Statutory Compliances and Controls; Enabling e-Freight and The New Horizon- A Modern Age GHA. 

 

The subjects touched upon key areas of concern for airport cargo ground handling community such as benchmark airport KPIs, statutory compliances, regulations and customs processes, e-freight and the need for change management, the new opportunities and threats from e-commerce trade and modern technologies being used like- drone deliveries and 4D printing among others. 

 

The Clear View summit endeavoured to ensure that a collective voice of the industry gets collated and the industry itself can now prepare a charter for enabling “doable” activities so as to provide “practical solutions” to the issues discussed during the summit.

 

Vipul Jain, chairman - Kale Logistics, said: “The energy, enthusiasm and response we got from the industry leaders at the summit were truly overwhelming.  Clear View summit is a small attempt by us to enable innovation and transformation in this industry. 

 

"The next phase of work involves certain identified initiatives where leaders from different stakeholders have volunteered their support to take it forward. The outcome from these will be discussed and shared at the next edition of Clear View.” - TradeArabia News Service
