Road To JFK Airport
Been thinking about gargantuan projects abuilding at John F. Kennedy International Airport and already completed at LaGuardia Airport in New York City and have concluded that, while well-intentioned, the JFK opus misses the real point about the airport that serves the comings and goings of people that are mostly international fliers to and from the greatest city in the world. The main roadway in and out of the airport namely The Van Wyck Expressway is an absolute horror show, day and night 24/7 jammed up and jelly tight with traffic of all kinds!

Rap Tap On Wood
RAP is normally connected with modern music. Not for FIATA members, though, who immediately recognize the acronym with Region Asia Pacific, i.e. the regional assembly of the association members of the region. This group is chaired by Yukki Nugrahawan Hanafi, nominated by the Indonesian association member. One may wonder what has the title to do with the RAP meeting. Well, we asked AI. It came to assist with this explanation: “In the context of wood, ‘tap’ typically refers to the act of creating a threaded hole in wood using a tap tool. This process allows bolts or screws with matching threads to be easily attached and detached. It can also mean making a hole in a tree trunk to extract sap, like in maple syrup production.” The thought process parallel tells you that the recently-concluded FIATA-RAP field meeting at Delhi (May 21-24, 2025) achieved its goals strengthening India’s position in the context of its continental geographic position, putting India on the stage for global dialogue and, more importantly, the fragrant takeaway of the gathering will hopefully spark transformation and engagement with global industry leaders, as it appeared through a series of active discussions on the future of supply chain innovation in the Asia-Pacific region. Partnered by the Air Cargo Agents Association of India (ACAAI), the 2025 FIATA Region Asia Pacific (RAP) event highlighted India’s growing economic significance on the global stage. Speaking on the side-lines of the RAP meet, FIATA President Turgut Erkeskin pointed out India’s importance in global trade. India, he said, had become a major player in the global air cargo market. FIATA’s endeavour was to connect and support members and country-based organisations to boost trade. He noted that India had committed to major investments in infrastructure and policy. The country’s manufacturing and consumption had gone up significantly and that had increased the “demand for the air cargo, particularly for high-value, time-sensitive goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and perishables.” However, he also emphasised that there were challenges. Erkeskin mentioned that both Mumbai and Delhi airports were saturated and this has led to “delays in cargo handling and increased costs”. He mentioned that the “state-level regulations can complicate operations for air cargo providers” and all this needed attention. Commending the government for “expanding global routes and improving Customs procedures,” the FIATA president highlighted that these moves went a long way to “boost India’s growing role.”
