Is
IATA CASS Ready For Primetime?
A MATURE AIR CARGO COMMUNITY FOR THIS DAY AND AGE
FT
was recently in contact with TIACA’s DG Glyn Hughes. Speaking
to Glyn is always interesting and informative. In this particular
case we were looking at the recent statements surrounding IATA’s
CASS. For the FlyingTypers Glyn released the following statement
that could be both inspirational and instructive, as it clarifies
some aspects that often remain on the side-line. These are Glyn’s

Schiphol
Airport—If You Cannot Be The Biggest . . .Why Not The Best?
For many of our readers, infrastructure
in transport and logistics falls among their own list of thought-provoking
items. From my personal point of view, it is an increasingly important
policy choice, in particular at this point in time, when a lot of
the historical infrastructure in the USA and Europe needs updating
if not an entire makeover, whilst other countries, e.g. China and
India seem to make infrastructure central in their political choices.

India, SpriceJet, Quikjet—A Unified Indian Effort
As India inches closer to the
ambitious target of 10MMT of air cargo handled per year by 2030, one
question that is being asked is: Why are there so few freighter operators
from India? One of the major reasons is the high belly capacity available
in India. Around 80 percent of cargo traffic is carried on passenger
aircraft. Today, Blue Dart apart, there are only a handful of freighter
operators like Quikjet, SpiceExpress (of SpiceJet) and CarGo (of IndiGo).

Dog
Days Of Summer 2024
When Sirius would appear in
the sky just before the sun, in July, that marked the beginning of
the very hottest days of the year.
The Romans referred to this period as "dies caniculares"
or "days of the dog star," which was eventually translated
as just "dog days."
