Budapest digitalises operations with Kale's Cargo Community System

Budapest Airport will streamline cargo operations with the implementation of the Airport Cargo Community System from Kale Info Solutions.

The system provides stakeholders with enhanced visibility and transparency, making real-time tracking and monitoring of cargo movements available.

It incorporates automated regulatory compliance checks to streamline operations and ensure adherence to industry standards.

Cargo handlers and integrators currently use separate IT systems for data collection, reporting and transmission to the airport and authorities, which results in parallel or double data communications.

József Kossuth, Cargo Director at Budapest Airport says the airport is on track to be the main cargo hub for central and eastern Europe with the development of the BUD Cargo City.

In 2023, the airport handled 201,306 tons of cargo, 48.5% higher than 2019.

Kossuth said: “The introduction of the new Airport Cargo Community System adds an important innovative feature to BUD’s profile, further strengthening the hub function of the airport. The ACS will serve as a centralised platform, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange among all stakeholders involved in the cargo handling process.”

Vineet Malhotra, Co-Founder and Director of Kale Logistics Solutions, added: “We are excited to partner with Budapest Airport in introducing our ACS, which will play a pivotal role in optimising 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.”
