Mr Panza illustrated what happened over the last 18 months when the passenger side of operations completely tanked but a positive outcome was on the cargo side, which really took off thanks to the worldwide requirement of PPEs and pharmaceuticals.
The key learning, said Mr Panza, was the importance of community and cooperation despite the competition that has existed between different players in the industry. The UAE provided the world with an outstanding model for domestic and global cooperation with the formation of the Hope Consortium that has seen remarkable outcomes by providing a coordinated response to the Covid-19 crisis. Mr Panza concluded his reply by saying that in order to connect the global air cargo and logistics community there is a need for all the different stakeholders of the industry to speak a “common language” to manage expectations and achieve well-defined positive outcomes.
