We combine our strengths and expertise to actively shape the future of air freight. In our competence teams, we continuously analyze the latest trends and identify the most important topics for our community. Together, we develop innovative solutions and set new standards in the industry.
Simplified processes for greater efficiency
We are developing concrete solutions for faster freight processing in Cargo City South. By standardizing registration processes and improving the infrastructure, we are strengthening the Frankfurt location.
Setting the course for digital change
Away from paper, towards streamlined, digital registration: With a common community system, we strengthen the cooperation of our members across industries and increase transparency within the individual processes.
The work of the air cargo community must be widely visible
We ensure that the positive changes initiated by the work of the Air Cargo Community are quickly communicated to the outside world. To this end, we shape relationships with important regional media and the trade press.
Keep members up to date
A good internal information system strengthens the sense of togetherness within the community and makes everyone aware of the milestones we have achieved together. We are the interface for all news and ensure that members are informed quickly.
Companies at Frankfurt Airport will continue to need well-trained specialists in the future
Together with the members, we develop approaches to improve comprehensive HR marketing at the location and analyze possible weak points.
Guarantee high qualification standards in the long term
If you want to hire skilled workers tomorrow, you need to train them better today. We are looking for innovative solutions to make training at Frankfurt Airport more attractive. Ultimately, all employers at the airport will benefit from this.
Ensuring quality
Several member companies are currently going through the IATA CEIV program - some of them have already successfully completed it. Our goal is to certify all actors involved, from freight forwarders to cargo handlers and ground handling service providers to airlines.
Promote transparency
We convince pharmaceutical companies not only with certified services, but also with the “visit FRA pharma” series of visits: In this way, manufacturers of pharmaceutical products can get an idea of our processes in the CargoCities and exchange ideas with experts on site.
Optimize processes
We are constantly developing across companies and industries. For example, we are improving communication and data exchange among each other and are working on developing new transport services to ensure product integrity.
This includes reducing the carbon footprint and other emissions, optimizing resource consumption and introducing innovative and environmentally friendly technologies.
Sustainability in all its facets
By sharing best practices and working closely with stakeholders, the Group aims to improve sustainability throughout the supply chain. In the long term, a comprehensive sustainability strategy will be developed and implemented to achieve environmental, economic and social benefits and increase the competitiveness of the industry.
This includes improving the interfaces between road transport and air freight, promoting technologies and digital solutions to increase transparency and traceability, and increasing the safety and reliability of transport services.
Air freight needs a smooth process on the road
Another important aspect is the collaboration with various stakeholders such as other associations and authorities to develop and implement standardized procedures and best practices. The Trucking Competence Team also works to promote sustainable transport solutions in order to minimize the ecological footprint of road transport. Overall, the team strives to increase the competitiveness and service quality of the air freight industry in Frankfurt through these measures and to ensure a smooth, efficient and environmentally friendly logistics chain.
