Though leaving Europe single market is affecting cargo activity and a decrease is expected

Due to a huge volume of cargo transportation from the UK the country has dedicated Air cargo aircraft operations on some of its airports. The planes only carry cargo and not passengers so one can imagine how big the volume of operations would be on the airports of the country. East Midland airport in the UK is one of the world biggest cargo airports and has been shortlisted for the annual awards. But it lags behind Heathrow in the volume of cargo handled in a year. Last year the figure was 365000 tons.

Though leaving Europe’s single market is affecting cargo activity and a decrease is expected in this activity this year but the aforesaid airport has recorded gains in freight operations. Over a million individual parcels with other goods are handled in a night and this clearly pointing towards the major contributor in this transportation. Online shopping is all behind this and with the shift to this mode of purchasing the air, freight would enjoy more activity. There are companies which provide specialized services for this kind of delivery and offer good rates to the big online sellers.

Cargo industry all depends on trade and movement of goods

After the advent of new companies in this sector, the use of modern technology has increased and the veteran companies feel the pressure to serve the clients better. For this, they are also turning towards the use of digital advancement in this field. Cargo industry all depends on trade and movement of goods from one destination to the other and low tariffs or lesser restriction on movement of goods certainly benefit the companies which are offering related services.

Safe and in time delivery at affordable rates are the basic concerns of clients while selecting an option. How this would be materialized is the responsibility of the service providers.

More and more digitalization of this sector is also appreciated

More and more digitalization of this sector is also appreciated by the customers as they get the benefit from such changes. Not only the international trade but the local distribution of the cargo is also done through airports and after reaching the most appropriate destination further dispersed through flights.

The government in the UK is also facilitating small and medium businesses

UK trade with Pakistan is increasing and it has the potential to be doubled in a couple of years if both sides make serious efforts in this regard. The biggest question for the UK is leaving the European single market and at the same time, the authorities want to secure agreements with the rest of the world to maintain their exports and economic position.

The government in the UK is also facilitating small and medium businesses to export more particularly outside the EU. With this and many other similar steps to improve trade between Pakistan and the UK the volume of bilateral trade would surely increase in the coming years.
