The supply chain in a world of COVID-19

Ongoing Covid-19 disruption to the global supply chain on which high technology depends is self-evident, but the statistics still make for sobering reading and underline a necessary call to action. HEATHROW AIRPORT is the UK’s largest port by value, with 34 percent of the country’s cargo passing through and 95 percent usually carried in the belly-hold of passenger planes. However, since mid-March it has seen a sharp rise in cargo-only flights from roughly 50 a month to, at time of writing, 50 a day.
