American Airlines Cargo is opened wide & declaring it is “ready to deliver”vaccine and therapies to combat the demon global pandemic.
“While the production of a COVID-19 vaccine remains unclear, we are inspired that experts and scientists around the world are working together to beat COVID-19,” Jessica Tyler President of American Cargo told Flying Talkers in an exclusive interview.
Forwarder Confident Jo Frigger EMO Trans Chairman told Flying Talkers:
“Much will depend on which manufacturer will get the approval for their vaccine. There will be a mad rush and the logistics may be under control of the shipper or importer. It is very difficult to predict where the vaccine will be coming from and who will be the initial consignee. The vaccine could come from Europe, Asia, Russia or North America."
India China Dustup
In the beginning of July, when FedEx and DHL stopped picking up cargo from China for India, it was not surprising. If the Corona Virus pandemic made transportation difficult, ever since the bloody conflict in the Galwan Valley (bordering the Indian state of Ladakh and China) on June 15, 2020 that saw the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, India’s relations with China have been tanking.The announcement of the move to stop picking up cargo from China came due to “recent delays in customs clearance of shipments into India” from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.
FedEx also pointed out that it was “currently facing backlogs beyond our control, leading to congestion at our facilities”.
While DHL and FedEx have explained the reason for the delays, there is another very important reason.
