An
Open Forum
" The Hong
Kong Air Cargo Industry at the Crosssroads"
organized
by
Center
of
Cyber
Logistics
|

China's
imminent accession to the WTO and direct links between Taiwan
and the Mainland imply that Hong Kong's air cargo industry
is entering an era of unprecedented competition and opportunities.
On the one hand, the industry faces narrow margins, stringent
requirements on quality and reliability, global trends of
consolidation and alliances, and entry of strong and powerful
foreign competition. On the other hand, further opening up
of the Mainland market will result in higher traffic volume
and trigger increased demand. It is hence crucial that a high
value-added, fully logistics-integrated and IT-supported system
be put in place to maintain Hong Kong as the transportation
hub in Asia.
The Center
of Cyber Logistics foresees the need of bringing the issues
into focus for the industry and the government to discuss
in a collaborative environment. Thus, the Center initiates
this open forum for all constituents in the air cargo industry
to exchange ideas and opinions on imperative issues. With
that, the Center will press on with investigation to provide
constructive policy and recommendations to the government
and the industry alike.
The agenda
of the forum will include reviews of current air cargo trends
in the Greater China region, and a discussion of the recent
development of the open sky policy. An overview will also
be provided on the existing information technology infrastructure
and the future needs for the air cargo industry to compete
in the e-commerce era. The forum will conclude with a roundtable
discussion on common issues that are confronting the industry
today.
