 Air cargo accounts for 25% of the value of exports
italian non-EU countries, confirming itself as a fundamental sector for
the country's economy. This is underlined by the Second Study
anama's Air Cargo Observatory and the Air Cargo Cluster,
presented today in Milan as part of a digital conference,
recalling that Italy is among the top ten exporters at the
World. The document, produced in collaboration with TRT with
the objective of deepening the dynamics and strengths that
characterize the main Italian airports - Milano Malpensa,
Bergamo Orio al Serio, Rome Fiumicino, Venice and Bologna - in
comparison with European airports in Frankfurt, Munich,
Paris-Charles De Gaulle, Amsterdam-Schiphol, Luxembourg, highlights
which, however, the Italian airport system handles 7% of the
european air cargo against, for example, 30% of Germany, followed by
from France and holland. In recent years, however, Italy has
improved its performance and in 2019 surpassed Belgium,
reaching fifth place at European level.-
- The study, based on a qualitative analysis focused on
manufacturing and shipping companies, also lists the gaps to be
to enhance the resources of the Italian air cargo ship in
terms of service reliability and transit time - factors
relevant for goods with high added value or with
perishable characteristics. First of all, the
improvement of connections for capillarity and frequency
to/from airport hubs and, from this point of view, Malpensa,
Italy's main cargo airport, however, is serving
the absence of a strong flag carrier of which it is a hub of
Reference. This results in a lower level of connectivity
of the airport. The number of destinations in the
airports in Paris and Frankfurt - observes the study - derives
their role as an international hub for their respective
air france and lufthansa flag carriers.
-
- Secondly, the development of more
adapted to the needs of companies, such as logistics hubs
airport flows consolidation and development of
dedicated airport infrastructure. The infrastructure gap with
major European airports, however, has over time
reduced, thanks to the significant investments for the development of Cargo
City.
-
- The study, in the appendix dedicated to the impact of Covid-19,
highlights the peculiarities of a sector that, at a time of
crisis such as the current one, has shown great capacity for
resilience. Air freight forwarders, in collaboration with
other players in the supply chain, play, in fact, a strategic role
in the internationalization of the product supply chain
responding adequately to the changes taking place in the
distribution networks resulting from technological innovation and
development of e-commerce.

- "The emergency - detected on behalf of the Air Cargo Cluster
the President of Anama, Alessandro Albertini, at the opening of the
- drew the attention of politics and the media to our
Sector. We are working with determination to ensure that the
the world of transport in general and that of air cargo in
particular, become the honours of the news since they
effective and efficient transport are the basis of an economy
solid and healthy. We reiterate the importance of resuming as soon as possible
soon the work of the Table on The Air Cargo to update the
Position Paper of 2017 signed by the Ministry of
Infrastructure and Transport and from all component associations
the Cluster.'
-
- Speaking at the conference, The President of Confetra, Guido
Nicolini argued that "logistics, transport and,
of course, the air freighter, they need a strong boost.
Today more than ever, in the face of the new growth of the pandemic
- he explained - there is a need to implement quickly the
measures already decided on for the sector. Confetra has been
beats on all tables in this regard. We have taken steps in
ahead, but there is still work to be done. Specifically, it is
correct, as Anama does, ask MIT to resume the work of the
Air cargo table and update the 2017 position paper».

- "Italy - denounced the President of Fedespedi,
Silvia Moretto - is suffering from a criticality of the logistics system in
national level: Italy is in 19th place against
germany's first place on the basis of the fluidity index
logistics (LPI). This year everyone should have realized that
how crucial it is to invest in logistics because
it is not enough to produce products of excellence, it is necessary to
effective and dynamic distribution system. From
here, therefore, we must move to enhance the air cargo that
today it moves 7% of the goods on the area route at European level,
we think, for example, that Germany always moviments at the level of
30% of the air cargo.'
