BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. The
international aviation summit, the 3rd Central Asia Air Cargo
Summit, is taking place in Tashkent today, bringing together
airlines, airports, transportation companies and logistics
providers to discuss the expansion of air cargo services across
Central Asia.
This was reflected in the statement by the Ministry of Transport
of Uzbekistan.
According to the Ministry, the two-day event focuses on key
issues shaping the region’s air freight sector, including
increasing air cargo volumes, adopting international industry
standards, developing infrastructure, advancing digital
transformation and strengthening Central Asia’s role in global air
cargo networks.
“Central Asia is gaining new opportunities to strengthen its
position in international air cargo, and closer cooperation among
airlines, airports, logistics providers and technology companies
will be critical to turning these opportunities into practical
results,” organizers said.
The summit also provides a platform for airlines, airports,
freight forwarders, logistics companies and technology providers to
exchange experience, establish business partnerships and explore
new opportunities in the regional market.
Participants are expected to examine ways to improve the
efficiency of air cargo logistics and enhance connectivity between
Central Asia and international markets.
The event highlights the growing importance of modern
infrastructure and digital solutions in supporting the development
of the region’s aviation and logistics sectors.
Air freight plays an increasingly important role in connecting
landlocked Central Asian economies with global markets,
particularly for high-value, time-sensitive and perishable goods.
The expansion of air cargo capacity can help businesses access
international supply chains more efficiently, diversify
transportation routes and reduce delivery times, while
strengthening the region’s position as a transit and logistics hub
between Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
