Cargo Talks: "Customs, what's next?"

30/03/2023

Customs, what's next?", is the question for many companies in our community today. Find out during our Cargo Talks what changes are on the way and what impact it could have on our operations. The development of a fully electronic customs system is one of the main targets of the European Union. This year's agenda of customs includes the implementation of ICS/2 and PN/TS, but also other digitalisation projects are on the radar.

During these Cargo Talks, Ivan Verborgh (Head of ICT at Belgium customs) will present the MASP (Multi-Annual Strategic Plan), followed by a panel discussion. For this discussion, Ivan will be joined by Mario Destoop (EFL Global), Paul Van den Bulck (Aviapartner), Michael Gomez (DHL Aviation) and Bjorn Bollingh (Crossroad Communications). Afterwards, a short networking moment is planned.

2% decline in volumes compared to February 2022 
In February, cargo volumes at Brussels Airport decreased by 2% compared to February 2022, mainly due to a 16% decrease in trucked cargo volumes and the current geopolitical tensions.  
Compared to February 2022, air cargo volumes increased slightly by 2%. Here, the full cargo segment grew by a healthy 5%, while cargo carried on passenger aircraft also grew by 6%. However, there was a 3% decrease in the express services segment.  

The main importing regions are Asia (+20% compared to February 2022), Africa (+4%) and North America (-16%). Regarding exports, Asia (+28%) and Africa (+2%) again increased their volumes, while North America saw its volumes fall by 21%.

The number of cargo flights decreased by 5% compared to February 2022, mainly due to the stoppage of cargo-only passenger flights in July 2022. 

David Bellon (ACB chairman) in Flows about concern full freigher shortage
Picture: Flows
David Bellon expresses his concern in Flows about the shortage of full freighters. Many aircraft are due for replacement, partly because they are aging, but also because of the need for more fuel-efficient and noise-friendly alternatives, based on existing and future expected environmental standards. According to Bellon, their production is not so easy to scale up.
