Kale Logistics Solutions, specialist in providing innovative technological products for the air cargo and logistics industry, has announced its collaboration with Budapest airport
to revolutionise cargo operations through the implementation of its cutting-edge Airport Cargo Community System.
The partnership between Kale Info Solutions B.V. (Kale Info), the fully owned subsidiary of Kale, and Budapest airport marks a milestone in streamlining cargo operations at one of the busiest airports of Europe. At present, various cargo handlers and integrators use separate Information technology (IT) systems for data collection, reporting and transmission: to the airport and the relevant authorities. This includes parallel or double data communications and opportunities open to digitalise air freight operations and processes.
Kale’s innovative ACS system provides stakeholders with enhanced visibility and transparency, enabling the real-time tracking and monitoring of cargo movements, incorporating automated regulatory compliance checks, which further streamlines operations, ensuring adherence to industry standards.
“Budapest airport aims to become the main cargo hub in the Central and Eastern European region. We are on the right track, as the dedicated development of the BUD Cargo City in recent years has provided world-class infrastructure, which, combined with excellent connectivity and a tight-knit cargo community, is attracting more and more partners,” József Kossuth, Director, Cargo, Budapest airport, said.
“We are now the fastest growing airport in the region in terms of cargo volume, as we handled a record 201,306 tonnes in 2023 with a growth of 48.5 per cent increase compared to 2019. The introduction of the new ACS system adds an important innovative feature to BUD’s profile, further strengthening the hub function of the airport,” he asserted. “The ACS will serve as a centralised platform, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange among all stakeholders involved in the cargo handling process,” he added.
“We are excited to partner with the Budapest airport in introducing our ACS system, which will play a significant role in optimising air cargo operations and enhancing overall efficiency. As a leading technology provider to airports worldwide, we are proud to bring our expertise and best practices to this collaboration, ensuring the highest standards of service and innovation,” said Vineet Malhotra, Co-founder and Director, Kale Logistics Solutions.
“Through this collaboration, our company aims to set new benchmarks in cargo handling and contribute to the continued growth and success of Budapest airport, as an important logistics hub in European region,” he added.
The implementation of the ACS system represents a great leap forward in the commitment of Budapest airport to dliver world-class cargo services and supporting the evolving needs of its stakeholders.
Kale’s ACS system is the next-generation cargo community platform from the company, which facilitates paperless operations with several enriched features to suit the present day’s air cargo business requirements.
This initiative marks the first implementation of a such a comprehensive ACS system in Hungary, underscoring Kale’s international leadership in this domain with successful ACS deployments across North America, India, the UAE, and Turkey. Kale has earned recognition from the United Nations for its innovative approach to trade facilitation.
