The cargo industry once again proved vital for the delivery of critical supplies during the pandemic situation. On the other hand supply of food items and other indispensable items also need to keep smooth to avoid a shortage of these. Air cargo to Pakistan also ensured supply of personal safety equipment and vaccine.

The airline industry faced great challenges during the pandemic as flight operations remain suspended for several months. Most world trade is carried through the sea and these routes remain open.

Air cargo traffic drops by 11 per cent in 2020, which is not alarming at all. Passenger flights suffer a greater drop. As we know cargo is also carried by passenger flights so availability of space becomes scarce. This scarcity of space results in high rates, volatile situations also leads to an increase of cargo charges.

In some countries, traders stop the import of goods just because of high cargo charges. Price hike ultimately passes to customers and goods’ price does not remain competitive. Traders are very conscious of transportation charges and they stop importing goods if their prices become high.

Sometimes they just need to send their documents

Online purchasing also increase due to the spread of contagious diseases. People find it only possible to order online for their required products. Due to consistent demand for goods, recovery also become possible and some economies showed positive growth as compared to negative growth worldwide.

Still, the situation is dubious and an efficient vaccination drive around the globe could be the answer to the present volatility. Cargo service is not only for traders but individuals also use the same for their needs. Sometimes they just need to send their documents and they use a nearby courier service or postal service.

Export to Pakistan is facilitated for UK exporters

Airlines mainly generate revenue from passenger travelling and air cargo contributes only 11 per cent of revenue. But the volume of air cargo has been increasing steadily and will improve further in coming years. People send cargo to Pakistan not only for trade purposes but also due to the huge population of Pakistan origin lives there.

Many UK origin companies also working in Pakistan and their experience surely helps others to start a business or do investment in Pakistan. Trade organizations and chambers of commerce also help businessmen to introduce their goods in different markets.

Many chambers of commerce in the UK work closely with the Pakistan chamber of commerce to create opportunities.

Different types of data are also available for people considering experiments in new markets. People think scientifically and make most of the available information. Starting a new business is full of risk but the use of information mitigates this risk.

Cargo Industry is facing uncertainty

People in Pakistan are well aware of high-quality UK brands so the demand for consumer items is also present. Presently most UK exports to Pakistan are for industrial production and manufacturing. Machinery for the news industry is also sent from the UK to Pakistan so there is much potential still untapped.

With time and ease in business community interaction, many opportunities can be unearthed. It depends on the progress of the economy as well because a growing economy open ways for imports. Ease in bilateral trade is also possible with an increase in the volume of goods transported between two countries.

A steep increase is forecasted once the present uncertainty will over. Production of different industrial units will also increase to meet demand worldwide. The cargo industry and rates of this service will also become stable. It is very important for users of cargo services because rates of imported goods need to be stable and lower too.
