Auto SCM Summit 2024: How Can Frankfurt Airport be Gateway to Europe’s Automotive & Cargo Future?

At the Auto SCM Summit 2024, organised by Indian Transport and Logistics News (ITLN), Joachim von Winning, Director Cargo Partnerships at Frankfurt Airport, joined Rajarshi Chatterjee (Assistant Editor, ITLN) for an insightful fireside chat.

During the conversation, Winning shared how Frankfurt Airport serves as Europe’s central hub for automotive and cargo logistics, saying, “We can do customs clearance within the warehouses of the freight forwarders. The top 10 freight forwarders have their European consolidation hubs at Frankfurt, meaning Europe’s cargo, including automotive parts, is collected, consolidated, and flown out from here.”

He explained how strategic partnerships with freight forwarders—offering space, warehousing, and seamless connections with authorities—help optimise logistics. Winning also discussed the importance of German customs, calling them strict yet cooperative.
