Charter Services Struggle To Meet Expanding Infrastructure Needs
Air freight activity in Central Asia has climbed steadily over recent years, driven by expanding infrastructure developments and growing commerce along the Middle Corridor. However, establishing charter services capable of supporting this growth comes with notable obstacles, including the need for specialized cargo capacity and infrastructure. According to Gerhard Coetzee, vice president of cargo for India, the Middle East, and Africa at Chapman Freeborn, the region requires $33bn in infrastructure investments annually, and freight requirements are increasingly originating within Central Asia. This growth was reported by Air Cargo News.
