AIR FREIGHT DEVELOPMENT

Air cargo and airport logistics strategies

We develop air cargo strategies aligning airports, exporters and logistics operators to improve competitiveness and airport infrastructure capacity. We create process digitalization solutions such as Cargo Community Systems, digital corridors and/or e-freight processes.

CUSTOMIZED SERVICE

Offering solutions to boost your cargo

Our air cargo experts combine sector analysis and stakeholder work to design realistic plans that improve processes, connectivity and export competitiveness.

What we do

Diagnosis of the cargo sector, strategic development plans, identification of opportunities for new routes and products, promotion of international standards and identification of needs in the implementation of digital solutions.

How we do it

We apply a collaborative approach, organize cargo committees and forums, promote the digitalization of processes and design actions to increase freight traffic.

Benefits

Reducing logistics costs, increasing export capacity and attracting new investments in cargo infrastructure.

Converting logistics potential into real air cargo traffic

In many territories, air cargo is not growing due to a lack of coordination among stakeholders, poor market visibility and the absence of a clear strategy to attract routes, products and operators.

Air cargo requires coordination between many players: exporters, freight forwarders, customs brokers, handling, ground transportation, airlines and airport.

GPA approaches air cargo development from a holistic view: data, community and execution to improve processes, raise standards, activate routes and strengthen the ecosystem. Managing all stakeholders in the cargo community and implementing digital solutions among them can be a crucial part of moving forward.

WHY GPA

Community-driven growth

We have worked with airports, shippers, forwarders, logistics operators, airlines and authorities to identify bottlenecks and activate shared solutions. We have implemented Cargo Community Systems and e-freight processes. This community approach allows us to generate sustainable and measurable growth in air cargo.

Specialized load analysis

We use foreign trade data, origin-destination flows, cargo typology and air capacity to detect real development opportunities. Our analyses allow us to prioritize markets, routes and cargo segments with the greatest potential.

Collaborative approach to the entire supply chain

We act as a technical link between the public and private sectors to align interests, improve operational processes and strengthen the competitiveness of the air cargo ecosystem of the airport or region.

From strategy to action

We accompany the implementation of freight development initiatives, from the definition of priorities to the monitoring of results and their impact on volumes and connectivity.

How Air Freight Development works

Driving air cargo with a shared and executable plan. We align strategy, data and key players to transform potential into results.

Consulting

We conduct an in-depth analysis of the air transport sector and the factors that will impact the competitiveness of your economy and propose precise executable plans.

Air cargo community management

We create or consolidate communities of cargo agents for airports and institutions that need to articulate, coordinate and represent local interests, aligning all players in the value chain under a common and coherent strategy.

Cold chain and product specialization

At GPA we can support in the optimization of the cold chain for the pharmaceutical, chemical and food sectors, improving the quality, safety and competitiveness of the cargo. We identify strategic import and export products, support in the design of specialized handling spaces and guarantee the necessary certifications to meet the highest international standards.

Cargo Community Systems

To ensure the interconnectivity of systems between cargo terminals, freight forwarders, carriers and public customs agencies and border inspection processes, we recommend investing in digital solutions that secure and monitor these processes more efficiently and provide transparency.
