Forwarders say US government financial support is a must for air cargo
26 Feb, 2023
Two US industry bodies representing mostly forwarders involved in air cargo want government to give financial support to developments to ensure a smoother flow of traffic through airports.
They say the challenges for the industry are too enormous to be shouldered squarely by private enterprise and they have produced a white paper based on broad surveys and submitted it to Congress.
The worst of the congestion that has plagued cargo flows through US gateways has cleared, but the problem has not disappeared, said Brandon Fried, executive director of the US Airforwarders Association (AfA).
