Foro MADCargo is an association of professionals from all sectors that make up the Madrid air cargo community.

In the context of continuous growth in air cargo demand and high operating costs, companies throughout the air cargo logistics chain increasingly require advanced data-driven solutions to enhance asset efficiency, streamline processes, and reduce costs. Targa Viasat Spain will collaborate as a protector member with the main airport ground handling service operators, developing cutting-edge solutions for managing ground support equipment (GSE) fleets.

Their next-generation technologies transform collected data into advanced services for vehicle location and management, activity certification and justification, and equipment and machinery maintenance.
Through this new association with Foro MADCargo, Targa Viasat Spain provides the advantages of advanced telematics to the air cargo sector, optimizing ground activities management and ensuring efficient and safe operation in compliance with airport regulations. For operators, adopting advanced telematics solutions translates into greater operational efficiency, cost reduction, and increased safety for people and assets, contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable airport operations.
