UN: support express, air mail and cargo operators!


The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) are encouraging national governments to support their designated postal operators, air cargo carriers, and express mail operators through financial aid and operational flexibility.

 

A joint ICAO/UPU statement highlights the recommendations and associated global roadmap of the ICAO Council Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART), which includes the need to ensure essential connectivity as one of its ten key principles. Importantly, this principle puts air cargo, a key contributor to the global supply chain, in clear focus.

 

The statement also reaffirms their commitment as UN specialised agencies to foster greater international cooperation to help contain the virus and to protect the health of essential workers. (ah)
