'Don't grab at new tech in fear of digital forwarders, and make the wrong choice' © Hafakot | While the freight industry has much work to do to go digital, players must not rush into decisions triggered by fear of rivals with better technology, forwarders and airlines have warned.
“We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution,” said Phil Coughlin, chief strategy officer for Expeditors. “There is a tug of war going on in the industry; who is going to create a collaborative cloud platform? There are a whole new set of competitors – digital forwarders– and established forwarders need to be more agile. “What won’t change in the next 10 years will be customer expectations, no matter how services are delivered.” And he warned delegates at the World Cargo Symposium in Dallas that, in the rush to digitialise, forwarders could fall for “hype” surrounding certain technologies. Will digitisation kill off the forwarder? © Nils Ackermann Digitisation could make freight forwarders redundant in the next 20 years unless they significantly adapt their business model.
As data in the supply chain becomes increasingly transparent, in a bid for seamless flows of information and cargo, the forwarders’ advantage ebbs, delegates heard at Air Cargo India in Mumbai this week. Two of the three flows controlled by the forwarder – the documents and the money – will be taken over by technology. The third flow – the cargo itself – will be carried by, of course, the carrier. One delegate said: “I feel great fear for the forwarder,” while another asked: “Is there a future for the freight forwarder, or will it come down to those with actual assets?” Amar More, CEO of Kale Logistics Solutions, which has just announced the first ever digital air freight corridor, between Mumbai and Amsterdam, said: “This industry is ripe for blockchain and digitisation.” The Basics of Air Freight: Optimizing Your Global Supply Chain. 16 58 9 Google +5 31 Before jumping into the basics, let’s first clarify what air freight means exactly.
At the most basic level, air freight can be defined as: The transportation of goods by aircraft.

Air Waybill An AWB is a bill of lading which covers both domestic and international flights transporting goods to a specified destination.
Technically, it is a non-negotiable instrument of air transport which serves as a receipt for the shipper, indicating that the carrier has accepted the goods listed therein and obligates itself to carry the consignment to the airport of destination according to specified conditions. Normally AWB refers to the Air Waybill issued by carrying airlines and also called Master Air Waybill (MAWB) which comes with three digits of numeric airline identification codes issued by IATA to non-U.S. based airlines and Air Transport Association of America to U.S. based airlines.
However, air freight forwarders also issue HAWB (House Air Waybill) to their customers for each of the shipments. AMA Freight: Airfreight.

Freight forwarder association Fiata and IATA have officially signed the long-awaited reforms to the IATA Cargo Agency Program and said that now the hard work of implementing the agreement begins.
The new IATA-FIATA Cargo Agency Program (IFACP) was hailed as a “historic” agreement at an official signing ceremony held today during the Fiata World Congress in Dublin. IFCAP, which was initiated after a 2012 review of the existing programme and first unveiled in July, reflects the evolution of IATA cargo agents or freight forwarders from being ‘selling-agents’ for airlines into ‘purchasing customers’ and aims to involve forwarders as equal partners in the decision making process. Air Freight: A Market Study with Implications for Landlocked Countries. Potential markets The demand for air freight is limited by cost, typically priced 4–5 times that of road transport and 12–16 times that of sea transport.
Air freight rates generally range from $1.50–$4.50 per kilogram, while the value of air cargo typically exceeds $4.00 per kilogram. Commodities shipped by air thus have high values per unit or are very time-sensitive, such as documents, pharmaceuticals, fashion garments, production samples, electronics consumer goods, and perishable agricultural and seafood products. They also include some inputs to meet just-in-time production and emergency shipments of spare parts.
Demand for air freight exports has been limited from landlocked developing countries because most enterprises ship small volumes of low value goods. Gaining competitive advantage The use of air freight can create competitive advantages. Air Freight Guide. Air freight is very much the premium end of the cargo business.
It is used mainly for urgent and high-value items. Manufacturers use it for receiving ‘just in time’ components, and for distributing new products in high demand at their launch. There are restrictions on the weight and size of the goods that can be carried – and there is a longer list of prohibited items. Cargo Aircraft Guide - Cargo Charters. Lufthansa Cargo has implemented the first part of its strategic plan to establish ‘win-win’ cargo alliances around the world.
The plan is to beat network competition and offer greater service to customers, with its joint venture with ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes. Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North American and Chinese markets, and expects to announce its second partnership this year – although it would not reveal which airlines it is talking to.
ANA Cargo, meanwhile, has applied for antitrust immunity for a partnership with United. “We want to build more joint ventures in other important markets,” said Peter Gerber, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo. “The ventures are one possible strategic answer. “Or you can grow organically, like Emirates, if you have the money, or you can try another way: through joint ventures.” Luftfrachtsicherheit - DVZ. Luftfracht: Der Airwaybill. Thai Airways air cargo. A revamp of Thai Airways will see it end freighter operations next week with its final two 747-400BCF services.
It operated Bangkok-Delhi-Frankfurt-Amsterdam-Bangkok. The loss-making carrier will also stop A340-600 services and decommission its four A330-300s. It plans to sell 22 aircraft by July, according to CH Aviation. Thomson Reuters data shows that the Thai carrier has debts of some $5.9bn – the highest of its regional peers – and has faced seven consecutive months of losses. Its restructure, overseen by the airline’s president, Charumporn Jotikasthira, who was appointed by the military junta in December, is likely to involve the carrier selling non-core assets, cutting capacity by some 20% and cutting the fleet from 101 aircraft to 77 by the end of the year – with 747s phased out as well as A340s.
The carrier, which was at one time a strong player in the cargo market, has stopped and started freighter operations over recent years. Pharma helps K+N airfreight outpace the market - Aircargonews. Kuehne+Nagel beat 2014 airfreight market growth with a 5.3 per cent increase in volumes to 1.2m tonnes for the full year. The Switzerland-based logistics giant’s air cargo increase is more than twice last year’s global market benchmark average of between three and four per cent. K+N, the world’s second largest airfreight forwarder by tonnages, said that the key success factors in the business unit were “industry-specific airfreight products, which led to significant business wins in the pharmaceutical, automotive and industrial goods sectors”.
Airlines benefit from US West Coast port perishables windfall. Port congestion on the US West Coast has led to a welcome reverse of the recent modal shift towards ocean freight for airlines operating across the Pacific. Temperature-controlled shipments, including perishables and frozen food products, are taking up much of the available westbound capacity into Asia for both passenger airlines and all-cargo carriers. In recent weeks, this has included some unexpected cargo, explains Neel Shah, aviation consultant and chief commercial officer at Los Angeles-based forwarder Able Freight. As has been widely reported, US military bases in Korea and Japan ran short of dairy products such as cottage cheese and yogurt last month and had to be replenished by air. For the most part, however, the labour dispute is impacting frozen rather than fresh produce. “Distributors in the US serve the big multinationals, which don’t source locally in Asia because they want to keep the American flavour.
