ALBION INTERVIEWS WITH AIR CARGO WEEK
Lewis King (Albion Director) was recently interviewed by one of the industry’s leading publications Air Cargo Week to share his insight into the future of the airfreight industry in the GCC region and Albion’s new LSP partnership based out of Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH).
Albion Aviation Group has partnered with a leading Logistics Service Provider (LSP) in the United Arab Emirates to offer third-party Business-to-Consumer (B2C) customs clearance and final mile delivery solutions for e-commerce shipments. This collaboration leverages a dedicated 2,500 sqm customs-bonded warehouse at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), allowing for immediate arrival and clearance of shipments before final mile delivery to any location within the UAE.
Lewis King, comments: “This is a value-added service for our existing clients, including freight forwarders, logistics providers, and global e-commerce shippers. We are thrilled about our new LSP partnership in the UAE and expanding our range of services.”
Regarding the Middle Eastern airfreight sector, Lewis observes that it is currently navigating several significant challenges despite an overall positive growth outlook.
He says: “We actually have a very positive outlook and particularly for the e-commerce sector, where is there is growing demand and user adoption year on year in the GCC market. A market where there is plenty of disposal income and purchasing power parity within certain demographics. Furthermore transport hubs like the UAE have been pivotal in servicing the ongoing sea-air demand due to the security concerns of routing cargo via the Red Sea to Europe.”
