T he high cost and limited cargo capacity in the cargo hold of aircraft have long been obstacles to air cargo transportation. However, thanks to the adoption of new organizational models in various industries, air freight has become an increasingly important component of the logistics chain. In particular, the air cargo sector is experiencing significant expansion. Although it accounts for only 2 percent of total non-European export volumes, in Italy it contributes more than 25 percent of the economic value of exported goods (Eurostat, 2020).

The Italian airport system is able to capture a specific market share, especially for Italian manufacturing sectors that need to transport high value-added goods quickly. Hubs located in Central-Northern Europe still maintain a significant role, often benefiting from established positions in passenger routes, particularly intercontinental routes. This advantage is also supported by the presence of a national airline that plays a driving role.

Through more than 30 years of operation in the industry, Forges Davanzati Group has developed a close network of partnerships at major domestic and international airports. This has enabled us to improve our air shipping service, while also increasing the speed of cargo handling.

The speed and speed of execution of the various operational processes allow us to follow the customer more closely, listening to his or her requests and suggesting the best solutions.
