Air Cargo in the Tampa Bay area The Tampa region is well served by a combination of scheduled passenger belly cargo and integrated all-cargo carriers supported by a network of freight forwarders, consolidators, customs brokers and air trucking firms. Air Cargo is the most expensive form of transporting cargo but it is also the quickest. Cargo shipped by air is usually perishables, just in time inventory or time sensitive items. At TPA, our most popular cargo items consist of: Human remains Goldfish Supplies for MacDill AFB Animals and amusement ride parts for Busch Gardens of Africa
Cargo at TPA Fed Ex is the largest integrated all cargo carrier British Airways, Delta and Southwest are currently the largest belly cargo carriers (not necessarily in that order). Air cargo is up 7.41% year to date (January to August) Another large item of cargo is U.S. mail. Currently it is up 19.19% but it fluctuates depending on how the U.S. Government awards the contract to airlines. Many times it is trucked to other airports where an airline may have excess capacity the belly of their scheduled aircraft.
Future of air cargo Over a year ago, President Bush signed into law the a new Homeland Security Regulation implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The law mandates that all cargo on passenger planes must be physically screened. The deadline for that to happen is August 3, 2010 and an intermediate deadline of 50% of cargo to be screened by February 3, 2009. The TSA, which has the job of enforcing the legislation, has yet to define what method of screening they will implement. Currently, we have the known shipper program which allows a freight forwarder or carrier to certify that their customer is a bona fide operator, and thereby need only do random screening of cargo that comes to them. For human remains, the TSA will only accept shipments from funeral home members of the known shipper program.
