LOS Angeles World Airports is set to construct and implement its new Cargo Modernization Programme at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), reports London's Air Cargo News.
After much industry anticipation, this initiative is a welcome development, as forwarders know that LAX's current cargo facilities are outdated and no longer compatible with industry standards.
The new programme will include improved airside access and aircraft parking, landside infrastructure such as roadway geometry, facility access and parking for vehicles and trucks, right-sized truck aprons, truck queuing, and a marshalling yard.
The facility will also include automation capable of greatly expediting processing to include throughput and sorting, expediting pickup and drop-off, and saving stakeholders time and money.
This modernization programme will benefit the community, the country, and the overall supply chain.
The announcement encourages freight forwarders who use the airport to anticipate a new, streamlined facility capable of reducing truck waiting times and shipment delays.
Most welcome the news since forwarders are still hampered by excessive truck waiting times, despite lower cargo volumes than last year. For the Los Angeles region, it will mean reduced noise and air pollution from trucks idling at the airport.
It will mean a more efficient and secure air cargo system for the country, which is critical to the global economy.
And for the overall supply chain, it will mean faster and cheaper transportation of goods, which will help to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
