ACAAI going to Greece
For lively discussion on areas that needs attention and latest development in the cargo industry, ACAAI is going to touch few important issues in its 43rd annual convention.
Athens, Greece is the place to be for air cargo professionals this November as Air Cargo Agents Association of India (ACAAI) is organising its 43rd annual convention on ‘Resurgence of Air Logistics in India’. The convention is scheduled from November 1619, 2016. This is the first time ACAAI convention is scheduled in Europe. Explaining the theme of the convention, Sunil Arora, Secretary General & Chairman Convention, ACAAI, says, “It is crucial to dwell upon the current economic scenario globally and in India. The dynamics of air cargo industry are rapidly changing and evolving with rapid globalisation, digitisation supported by technology, timebound deliverables and cut-throat competition, to name a few,” in adding, “E-commerce is re-defining the entire business process.”
“Air cargo is directly linked to the economic graph of any country, which in turn relies on the global trends. Despite the recessionary trends in other countries, India is witnessing positive economic growth, though our exports levels are below expectations.” Arora pointed out.
Once it (GST) gets implemented, ease of doing business will become a meaningful reality from the taxation angle.
Coming to the Goods and Service Tax (GST), he said, “This long awaited bill will also become a reality in India in the near future. Once it gets implemented, ease of doing business will become a meaningful reality from the taxation angle. This reform will simplify the complex and multiple taxes and levies which are currently payable.”
“There is a vital need to rejuvenate, resurge to meet the challenges,” Arora concluded.
