The cargo companies are also ready for this as British parliament has rejected the proposed deal
Uncertainty is lethal for every development and Britain’s future regarding exit from EU is still not clear. Deal or no deal or second referendum or more time for reaching to a deal nothing is certain so far. This sort of situation is not ideal for the business and related sectors like cargo to Pakistan.
Britain is a hub of international trade for centuries and such confusion surely detrimental for the people involved in the cross border trade activities. The cargo companies are also ready for this as British parliament has rejected the proposed deal with the overwhelming majority. That is why at present everything seems on hold and not ready to take big decisions unless the scenario becomes clear.
After leaving the union it is very much possible that rivals to the Heathrow for air freight could leave this one of the most popular destinations behind. The reason for this also could be the over-reliance on this one air freight point in the country. So a series of comprehensive policy measures are required in this connection to maintain the present status of the country in the world trade.
The UK is dominant in the cargo sector
The air freight forwarders have been requested for using the other airports too otherwise the whole country would suffer and cede ground to other international gateways.
There is a third runway being constructed but it would not be wise to wait for it to become operational at the airport has already become overloaded. The UK is dominant in the cargo sector and to keep its dominance it has to take the necessary measures.
But it is also important to see whether frequent flights
The fact is most of the air freight flights use Heathrow though the final destination is aloof. It is more convenient for traders to select other airports so that they could save their time and resources. But it is also important to see whether frequent flights are available to the traders for this purpose on other airports of the country or not.
The European rivals are also making progress and one of the closest claimed about twenty percent air freight increase in last year in terms of cargo volume. So much on a stake and this uncertainty is adding more risk of losing the current status.
Already scores of companies based in the United Kingdom operating in Pakistan
At the same time, there are valuable efforts of the authorities to improve trade with other countries around the world and it is to provide more opportunity to cargo companies. UK cargo to Pakistan is also observing reasonable growth and as the economy of the later is has the potential for further increase in imports the former can take advantage of the situation.
Already scores of companies based in the United Kingdom operating in Pakistan and many are contemplating seriously to expand their business to this emerging economy of the world. These facts clearly indicate that in coming years there would be more business for the cargo companies in the UK offering services for Pakistan in Particular.
