Five major shipping demands for German federal governments and state governments

The air transport industry in Germany unanimously: Air freight suffers from the fact that general conditions have deteriorated. The new federal government and states need to take action immediately in order to secure the competitiveness of Germany as an air freight site. Thus, the International Airlines Association Barij (Board of Directors of airlines in Germany) actively worked on the official shipping paper “strong air freight of a strong German economy” recently presented by the German Aviation Association (BDL) and supports the five major demands in it. Moreover, as a member of the Messe München Logistics Consulting Council, as Air Cargo Europe will be held as of June 2, 2025, Barig will focus on these site topics as well.

“The measures we provided will lead to comprehensive costs in the air freight site in Germany. The cancellation of the expansion of long -term operations is necessary for Germany to restore a sustainable pioneering position in the field of shipping and logistics,” and the Chairman of the Michael Hoppe and CEO. Barij’s members not only include German airlines, but also include more than 30 famous international charging carriers that fly daily to Germany. “For international airlines, Germany has recently become largely less attractive as a shipping site. Other sites benefit from this because it generally has lower costs, and greater national support for the aviation industry, and many operations mentioned in the demands of the five paper are often carried out more economical,” continuous. “Germany can easily catch up. Conditions of the national and European framework provides the necessary range. “

The five main demands for enhancing air charging in Germany indicates various fields. Includes:

1. Reducing the costs of the state site: This especially includes the cancellation of the PTL national share, which is a significant decrease in the enormous costs of aviation security, infrastructure, air traffic control, and sustainable fuel, as well as a neutral review of the competition for the European Union climate protection package “fit 55.”
2. The unified implementation of the European Union Security Union standards: In Germany, these standards must be applied in a practical way similar to those in other European Union countries and to ensure the same high level of security with minimal effort.
3. Working hours at air freight centers in line with the request: Working hours should be secured in German airports in the long run and should not be restricted.
4. Implementation alignment of customs standards in the European Union: When it comes to customs process, the removal of goods can be simplified and accelerated within the standards of the European Union through digitization and automation.
5. A simplified set for importing value -added tax: Compared to many other countries, there are still great potential here in Germany. To this end, the clearing model, which is already used successfully in many places, must be presented in Germany, because it greatly reduces import costs as well as the administrative burden.

“For many international airlines, the attractiveness of the local air freight site has recently decreased significantly,” Michael Hope. “The implementation of these main demands by the new federal government and states is necessary to enhance air charging and economy in Germany in the long run.”
