ANAMA highlights the need for the new Alitalia to be enhanced as a freight carrier
Albertini: it would give more competitiveness for our exported products and generate wealth for the country
April 21, 2020
"The strategicity of freight transport in the aircraft - pointed out the president of ANAMA, Alessandro Albertini - is in the data: it represents about 2% of the volume of goods transported in all modes, but to which corresponds to a significant share of the overall economic value. For exports to non-EU countries alone, he explained Albertini - we are talking about 26% of the economic value (Position Paper Cargo Plane and I Study Air Cargo Observatory), and for Italy exports account for about 30% of GDP. The freighter aircraft is also crucial in importing, particularly in supply chains of electronics, mechanics and pharmaceuticals. For this as air carriers who manage daily the country's import-export - added Albertini - we believe it is this function must be explicit starting from the current constituent phase, devoting ample space to transport the new Alitalia Statute and social object. The crisis shows even more the importance of having a Active, efficient and serviced air freight system Country: The air cargo is the only way to transport that allows you to reach markets.'
"In the past," noted the president of ANAMA, "the air cargo strategy for Alitalia was not appropriately considered, that's why we believe it's essential claim it now forcefully. Have a strong Alitalia in the cargo would give more competitiveness to our products exported, and would generate wealth for the country because goods would travel to/from Italian airports."
"That is why," Albertini concluded, "we also believe that The new Alitalia should be a company dedicated to flights of long-haul fleet with a fleet powered by all-cargo aircraft, such as traditional global players. Domestic and European routes are already covered by low-cost airlines that are more competitive on flights and so it will be even after the crisis. For traditional airlines profitable flights are the long ones Radius. The air cargo works right on long routes because the share of goods that travels by air is residual within the domestic and European market.'
