Another notable development is that, in the future, goods may be presented for clearance at all customs storage facilities across Frankfurt Airport’s defined customs area. This will shorten and optimize the handling and clearance processes, particularly for consolidated shipments, which are becoming ever more important due to growing e-commerce demand. In conjunction with the new regulation, the import platform will simplify the import process for consolidated shipments – under the condition that shippers and airlines provide detailed data.
In recent months, Frankfurt Airport has proven to be a vital hub for cargo shipment and distribution during what is the most serious crisis of the aviation industry. Thanks to strong cooperation, the cargo community has maintained the flow of goods during these difficult times, with freight volumes partially even exceeding previous year’s levels.
In view of the importance of airfreight for global supply chains and the systemic relevance of airfreight services in times of crisis, Fraport remains committed to continually and sustainably enhancing the cargo infrastructure at Frankfurt Airport.
