‘FTAs significantly enhance cross-border trade’

Vipin Vohra, Chairman – Continental Carriers says – “Air cargo plays a crucial role in global trade by ensuring the rapid and reliable movement of high-value and time-sensitive goods. Also, air cargo provisions in Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can significantly enhance cross-border trade. By reducing tariffs and simplifying customs procedures, FTAs can streamline air freight operations, accelerating the flow of critical goods such as pharmaceuticals, perishables, and electronics. Emphasizing air cargo in FTAs also promotes investment in infrastructure like cargo terminals including off Airport locations (Air Freight Stations) improving efficiency and reducing logistics costs.”
