PRESS ROOM

With our headquarters, as well as several freight and logistics hubs in Hong Kong, we note that the key messages that IATA'S global head of cargo wants to share at the trade body's 2024 World Cargo Symposium (WCS) which will be held here is that "air cargo's success matters" to the global economy.

Brendan Sullivan has highlighted the importance of growth in the air cargo industry ahead of the WCS from March 12-14, pointing out that airfreight provides solutions for shippers both in normal and extraordinary times.

Air cargo is an unsung hero of the global economy. In normal times, it delivers some 35 per cent of the value of goods traded across borders. In the pandemic, air cargo brought medical supplies and vaccines to where they were needed. And today it is providing a vital transport alternative for some products as Red Sea shipping lanes face geopolitical uncertainty. Air cargo's success matters.

When air cargo's global leaders gather in Hong Kong for the IATA World Cargo Symposium, ensuring the future reliability and growth of this critical sector will be top of mind with an agenda focused on sustainability, digitalization, safety and security, all issues on which UFL is focused.
