FRA-OS speeds up flows and handling processes
As initial results from the new import platform FRA-OS at Frankfurt Airport show, the new workflows and the high degree of transparency have measurably increased the speed of Consol's import handling operations. Customs is also satisfied with the digitalisation of the process.
Many major freight forwarders have already connected to the FRA-OS import platform. They are taking advantage of the new opportunities to perform their own presentations of consolidated import cargo to customs using their own gateways/warehouses on the airport premises.
Fabian Heilmann from Kühne + Nagel in Frankfurt explains: "Since the introduction, we have become considerably more efficient. Now that the handling agent no longer has to make customs declarations on our behalf, the goods can be handed over to us almost immediately after unloading." (cj)
