Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented disruptions in International Air and Ocean Transport have adversely affected global Trade and Supply Chains. Business Continuity Plans and Crisis Management Plans at national and corporate levels were triggered to ensure continuity in food supplies, and other critical supplies, such as masks, ventilators, and vaccines. Air cargo has played a major role in restoration of trade and availability of key supplies in remote corners of the world even amidst major disruptions.
Main objectives of this course are to familiarize the participants with the air cargo markets, players in the industry, models of operation, opportunities and challenges, and processes for handling regular and specialized cargo.
This course is part of:
