Air cargo volumes are climbing

Article Abstract:

The air cargo industry has seen continued growth. To cope with increasing air freight volumes, airports around the world are expanding facilities for cargo. Most noted of these developments is Denver International Airport's $200-million WorldPort project that includes the building of 500,000-square-feet of air-cargo-handling space. Meanwhile, aircraft manufacturers are doing their part in handling the air cargo boom by making planes that fly farther and hold 25% more freight and larger containers. Governments, on the other hand, are making their custom- clearance processes for cargo more streamlined through the use of new software applications in combination with the Internet.

Moving goods in and out of emerging markets

Article Abstract:

The complexities of shipping merchandise across international borders are frequently compounded when developing market countries are involved. Many emerging economies have taken longer to rebound from the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the economic downturn in Europe. While trade and investment with many of these markets are increasing, problems exist in the area of infrastructure, non-tariff trade barriers and customs procedures. Shippers, with proper planning, can effectively manage the peculiarities of business within developing markets and exploit the best that such markets have to offer.
