Air cargo is a crucial driver of global socio-economic development, especially in times of crisis. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it played a pivotal role in delivering essential medical supplies and vaccines worldwide.
Beyond emergencies, air cargo serves as a lifeline during natural disasters, swiftly delivering humanitarian aid to affected areas. It also acts as a vital alternative to disrupted shipping routes.
