‘Airlines may add freighters or use P2Fs on long-haul routes to meet demand’

Dilip Sahu, Director, EPS Worldwide Integrated Logistics said, “Airports are investing in express handling facilities, digitised customs clearance and 24/7 border operations to support faster turnaround times. Airlines and logistics providers are deploying more freighters and converting passenger aircraft to cargo use, especially on long-haul routes to Europe and North America. Predictive analytics, real-time tracking and automated sorting systems are becoming standard to meet the precision required for time-definite deliveries. Countries and companies that streamline express logistics will gain a trade edge. The speed of express delivery often comes at a carbon cost. The industry is exploring greener aircraft, optimised routing and multimodal integration to balance speed with sustainability.”
