Scanning devices for air freight increase cost

 

Handelsblatt reports on additional cost due to the obligation to scan belly freight from summer 2010. During the global downturn this is another threat for the airfreight industry. According to Handelsblatt there is slight hope for airfreight and further market consolidation likely. Referring to aviainform's Freight Market Outlook 2010 continued overcapacities and weakening financial performance are identified as drivers of further market consolidation.
