JFK's Cargo Handling Shake-Up: New York Aims to Scrap DSP Model Amidst Cost Concerns
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) is actively seeking to dismantle the long-standing Designated Service Provider (DSP) model for air cargo at JFK Airport. This current system is heavily criticized for causing significant delays and congestion by forcing truckers to visit multiple, separate airline-specific handling terminals. The proposed solution involves creating a centralized, 'one-stop-shop' facility to streamline cargo drop-offs and pick-ups. However, this potential overhaul raises major financial questions about who will absorb the resulting costs. Airlines that currently benefit from revenue-sharing agreements with their designated handlers stand to lose a significant income stream, creating uncertainty across the air freight community.
