航空貨物、GW控え情報共有　Air cargo industry prepare for the Golden week

今月末からのゴールデンウイークを控え、航空貨物業界でも事前対応の動きが本格化している。今年のGWは10連休となることから、例年よりもGW前後の搬出入の集中や滞貨が激化し、貨物地区が混乱することも懸念される。成田など主要空港の貨物上屋の多くは通常通りの営業体制で、貨物量に応じた人手をそろえて休暇中の貨物の出入りに備える構え。ただ、上屋会社やフォワーダーも荷量の見通しが固まっておらず、GW中の人員配置などが決められない会社もある。航空会社や上屋はフォワーダーに、さらにフォワーダーは荷主に対して、早期の出荷情報の共有を呼び掛けている。

With the Golden Week coming from the end of this month, there has been a proactive response in the air cargo industry.

Since the GW of this year is 10 consecutive holidays, before and after the GW in the cargo area, it is feared that the concentration of loading and unloading, and intensification of backlog may be more than usual. Many of the cargo docks at major airports, such as Narita, operate normally. They will prepare for staff depending on the amount of cargo coming in and going out. However, the cargo companies and forwarders have not yet forecasted cargo volume, this make some companies difficult to decide on staffing. Airlines and warehouses are asking forwarders for sharing shipping information from shippers earlier during the holidays.
