Join Mr Michael Byrne, International Freight Co-ordinator General and Air Vice Marshal Marg Staib, Australian Government Freight Controller who together will provide an update on the program.


Background

IFAM continues to be a targeted, temporary emergency measure and businesses need to use the next six months to adjust to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international air transport. This includes developing, where possible, alternative transport pathways, packaging, product and distribution options which take into account enduring higher airfreight costs. 

The Government commitment to this program totals $669million
