“The already significant role of air freight in global trade has grown even further in recent months, and for many industrial companies in Germany, air cargo is a vital component of their supply chains,” explains Michael Hoppe, BARIG Chairman and Executive Director. “Currently, air freight in Germany not only suffers from excessively high location costs, but is also confronted with additional obstacles in form of unnecessarily complex processes and a high degree of bureaucracy. We are committed to improving the framework conditions and are delighted that Maersk Air Cargo is supporting our work as a new BARIG member now.”
With a fleet of 19 freighters, Maersk Air Cargo serves numerous destinations within Europe, as well as in Asia and North America. Its main hub is Billund Airport in southern Denmark; Cologne/Bonn Airport serves as its primary hub in Germany.
“Our operational processes are designed to ensure stability, predictability, and seamlessly integrated logistics solutions for our customers. In this way, we make a crucial contribution to managing time-sensitive and complex supply chains, while also strengthening secure and resilient air freight corridors,” emphasizes Lars Jordahn, CEO of Maersk Air Cargo. “BARIG provides us with a great platform for professional exchange within the community. This enables us to contribute to the further development of the air freight industry, to positively shape its framework conditions, and to strengthen its position to meet future challenges.”
