NEWS\\\ Luſthansa Cargo clears new CSafe RAP


Temperature-Controlled Container


Luſthansa Cargo has approved the CSafe RAP for transport on their extensive network of airlines, serving over 300 destinations in more than 100 countries worldwide. The strong performance and unmatched thermal protection of the CSafe RAP is quickly attracting attention and gaining approval to fly on airlines around the world. “To me it represents a typical


win-win situation,” said Thorsten Braun, Senior Director of Industry Development & Product Management. “With the addition of the CSafe RAP we are further expanding our portfolio of active cool containers, which is second to none, while intensifying our existing relationship with CSafe. In combination with our


extensive global network, we are offering one of the leading cool containers to our customers!” The CSafe RAP represents


CSafe’s dedication to quality, ensuring


the temperature


integrity and safe delivery of temperature-sensitive, life- enhancing products across the globe. By utilizing CSafe’s proprietary ThermoCor® VIP insulation together with an innovative cooling and heating system, the CSafe RAP precisely maintains a defined payload temperature set-point throughout product transport, even in the most extreme ambient conditions (-30°C to +54°C). This is the broadest operating range in the industry.


TIACA forms


sustainability program, a 1st for air cargo industry


International Association


Air (TIACA)


Cargo is


establishing a new working group to define and deliver a Sustainability Program for the air cargo industry. To support the initiative, TIACA has signed a long-term partnership agreement with CHAMP Cargosystems. One of the highlights of the is


project launching a yearly


Air Cargo Sustainability award, starting at the association`s Executive Summit later this year. The main objective of the Competition and the TIACA “Air Cargo Sustainability” Award is to generate ideas and appreciate and


stimulate sustainability


initiatives in the air cargo sector. The winner will be announced in November 2019 in Budapest, Hungary. The recognition will be on a global level and it will be organized for the first time in the industry. To accomplish that, TIACA


and CHAMP will work with members, partners, and industry representatives to establish a common vision on sustainability. Together they will develop, promote, and support several campaigns to tackle challenges connected to the three pillars of Sustainability.


“Sustainable development


means being able to meet the business needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to find solutions to their own commercial challenges,”


states


Steven Polmans, upcoming TIACA chairman. “In the aviation and air cargo logistics sector, in common with all parts of our society, sustainability has an increasingly important role to play. The development of long- term strategies and investment to achieve a sustainable industry is key to guaranteeing the future of air cargo and TIACA, as the only organization representing all sectors of the supply chain, is in a unique position to drive that development.” A Sustainability Committee will be created by TIACA. Its role will be to act as a working group, which will build the Program and monitor delivery of the initiatives. The Association has pledged to organize at least one panel discussion or presentation focused on sustainability at each of its events. The call for nominations and


details of the criteria and judging system will be announced in the following weeks.

to the global index, their


diminishing trade growth rates contribute to a large extent to the projected global decline. The still rather mild global


trade contraction can be explained by the fact that during trade conflicts, trade flows do not merely dry out. Instead,


trade routes and


supply chains shift into other countries. On a global scale,


this partly offsets the negative effects of trade tensions between countries. In the wake of the overall


weakened trade climate, three GTB constituent countries record slower trade growth forecasts while managing to stay above the level of stagnation: Germany has registered a mere -1 point decline compared to the previous quarter and now scores 52, whilst India loses -6

points, resulting in an outlook of 53 points. The UK actually gains +2 points, scoring an index value of 52. Given the still unresolved Brexit uncertainties, this result looks somewhat counterintuitive. It might be an indication that companies are increasingly stockpiling inventories in face of the risk of a hard Brexit at the end of October. In addition to China, the East-Asian economies of

Japan and South Korea record sluggish trade momentum. The index for Japan has fallen by -7 points and now sits at exactly 50, which indicates stagnating trade dynamics. South Korea is the third GTB country with a forecasted decline in trade growth for the next three months: On the back of a mild decline with 49 points in March 2019, the outlook further declined by -3 to 46 points.
