India Taking
Air Cargo Personal |
In
October 2016, when India’s Airports Authority of India created
a wholly-owned but functionally and administratively-independent cargo subsidiary,
the AAI Cargo Logistics and Allied Services Company Limited
(AAICLAS), air cargo stakeholders felt it was the right step. The Benefits of Change Personalized handling
of cargo will be a norm now that AAICLAS has a CEO in Keku Bomi Gazder.
A cargo professional with more than three decades of experience, earlier
Gazder was with Saudia Cargo and was responsible for boosting cargo
from India. FlyingTypers met up with him to find out his
plans. The Vision Thing “At the
end of the day,” he emphasized, “it really does not matter
where one comes from as long as one can deliver the desired numbers.
Defining Various Sectors “AAICLAS will find out the sectors it has to focus on in order to grow in the next five years,” Mr. Gazder assures. “AAICLAS has been working on a five-year vision document.” Tables Are Turned
“We are at 2017 and now we need to plan where we want to reach
by 2022—with details on the verticals. Not Easy Peasy It will not be an easy task, but the top priority for AAICLAS would be to “benchmark ourselves on best practices worldwide and on the Ease of Doing Business index.”What has given Gazder the confidence is the positive development in the cargo movement in the AAI-held airports. He expects the business to grow by 10-15 percent in the current financial year and over 20 percent in the next fiscal. Tirthankar Ghosh |
