Session 2: Airline Panel: Asia-Pacific Air Cargo Trends
No region has been more important to air cargo than Asia-Pacific over the past decade. But in 2012, growth rates in Asia fell and Asia-based air carriers saw reduced demand for air freight services. With so much continuing to ride on the health of the Asia-Pacific market, we’ll delve into the prognosis for the region — which is the center of global air cargo and which has growing importance in freighter aircraft demand. This roundtable will feature executives from key players in the global and Asia-Pacific air cargo scene.
