Industry experts have emphasized the need for tighter local control over the $9 billion freight sector. They cautioned that easing regulations on foreign ownership would likely diminish local involvement in logistics and lead to a greater outflow of foreign currency.

According to the experts, expanding the domestic fleet could help retain approximately $2 billion annually within the country.
