The STAT Trade Times - June 2020

この号では

In the June issue of The STAT Trade Times, the cover story looks at how ULD leasing companies are readjusting their business models and renting options as a response to the challenges arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the regional report, the focus is on Asia, the hotspot of the global air cargo industry. Air freight capacity out of Asia continues to be in short supply while the freight rates have managed to stabilise over the last two months. In our interview section we bring two leaders. While Jan Krems, President of United Cargo, talks about operating cargo-only flights for one of the world’s largest airlines that had cargo capacity only in the bellies of passenger flights; Steven Verhasselt, vice president – commercial at Liege Airport, talks on what it takes to put a dedicated cargo airport on the global map of the air cargo world. Our special reports are on the imperativeness of digitalisation in air cargo industry and the crucial role cargo charter operators play in the current crisis. We also bring you an update on the first B777-300ER that has gone for conversion under the “The Big Twin” freighter programme at Israel Aerospace Industries’ facility in Tel Aviv six months ahead of the original schedule.
