The international airline association BARIG (Board of Airline Representatives in Germany) is recording further growth in the air cargo segment and welcomes MSC Air Cargo as its newest member. The cargo airline is an integral part of the MSC Group, a global leader in the transport and logistics sector, known for its extensive ocean freight services. This membership strengthens BARIG's position as an important representative of the aviation industry in Germany. Michael Hoppe, Chairman and Executive Director of BARIG, expressed his satisfaction with the new addition: "We are delighted that MSC Air Cargo is strengthening the BARIG community and thus contributing its high level of expertise in the field of air cargo." Hoppe emphasized that the industry in Germany faces numerous challenges, including high location costs, complex processes, and pronounced bureaucracy. With the practical knowledge of its now more than 30 international cargo airlines, BARIG is committed to achieving noticeable relief, accelerating processes, and overall improving the framework for air cargo in Germany. This is particularly relevant, as Germany, as an export nation, depends heavily on efficient air cargo transport. BARIG consolidates all air cargo activities and initiatives in its Air Cargo Committee. This committee was recently strengthened through restructuring and the introduction of a new dual leadership team to address current challenges even more efficiently and effectively. Jannie Davel, CEO of MSC Air Cargo, emphasized the importance of this new partnership: "With the third-highest gross domestic product in the world, Germany is a significant economic location. Therefore, it is important for us, as a BARIG member, to be even more closely connected with the air cargo industry in Germany." MSC Air Cargo operates with a fleet of new Boeing B777-200 freighters and connects important destinations.
