Abstract
This paper reports on the initial findings on the research on halal air cargo logistics regional hub. There are still lacks of knowledge in halal air cargo logistics regional hub, and there are only a few researches that actually integrate the conventional air cargo hub with halal certification and also provide efficient logistics hub in the world. This paper will be focusing on the halal aspect of combination of the air cargo and logistics hubs, as it is still a niche area in the conventional supply chain. The research method used to collect data is through focus group discussion. The results from the discussion show that segregation and investment on developing the halal hub are the main issues that were brought up by the respondents. The conclusion that can be drawn from this discussion is that the demand from the final consumers could expand the usage of halal logistics in the future.
