SOUTH American freight carrier LATAM Cargo has become a member of the Board of Airlines Representatives in Germany (BARIG) since cargo is gaining increasing importance within the association that represents the interests of 100 airlines.
'The lively trade between Latin America and Germany as well as the entire EU is an important pillar for us. For this reason, the BARIG membership offers us an ideal platform to contribute to the development of major topics regarding the air traffic location Germany,' LATAM Cargo senior manager sales Jorge Carretero was quoted as saying in a report by London's Air Cargo News.
BARIG secretary general Michael Hoppe added: 'Air cargo infrastructure and process optimisation at airports are essential topics regarding profitability and efficiency. These aspects on the other hand are vital in defending Germany's top ranking in growing global competition.
'We expect LATAM Cargo's remarkable international expertise to provide valuable impulses for our association work, thereby hopefully benefiting the entire aviation location Germany as well as commerce and economy.'
LATAM Cargo's network covers 140 locations in 29 countries, including 10 destinations dedicated to transporting cargo. The carrier moves one million tons of air freight every year.
