The Danish firm DSV is redefining the global logistics landscape and positioning Mexico as one of its strategic markets . As the company accelerates its expansion plans and seeks to strengthen air connectivity with the United States, it faces a challenge it considers crucial: the security of cargo transport and capacity directly to and from Mexico.
The growth of Mexico’s airport infrastructure, especially at Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) , has opened new opportunities for the industry. However, the risks of cargo theft during ground transportation continue to be a concern, notes Mikkel Hendriksen, Air Manager at DSV.
“We can’t eliminate the risk, but we can reduce it in several processes. The market in Mexico is developing at AIFA. We have to improve security in various parts of the logistics chain, not only to protect the cargo, but also the people involved,” he stated in an interview with T21.
Therefore, the company has implemented security protocols for the past two years to reduce the risk of theft in the vicinity of AIFA and on other routes. However, it believes there are still areas for improvement in strengthening the protection of its logistics chains.
“The airport has the infrastructure, capacity, and space to grow. We’ve brought clients here to see the facilities, and they’ve been pleasantly surprised. What doesn’t work is when we take certain goods out on the highway,” he points out.
