TIACA LAUNCHES REGIONAL SYMPOSIUMS FOR THE AIR CARGO COMMUNITY

The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) announced that it will be launching Regional Symposium series aimed at bringing the air cargo community together to discuss issues facing the industry at a regional level.

 

It said the kick-off event will be held in Amsterdam and will be hosted by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

 

TIACA — which represents, supports, and connects every sector of the global air freight supply chain — said the regional symposiums are designed to identify specific issues on a regional level that TIACA can incorporate into our overall work on behalf of the industry. 

 

It added that the program will include important discussions on sustainability, market challenges, people issues, and the economic outlook.  Digitalization, safety, and security issues will also feature highly in the program.  

 

TIACA noted that each symposium will develop a Regional Action plan that will be incorporated into TIACA's strategic objectives and activities.  

 

“TIACA is committed to be connected to our membership and by organizing the Regional Symposiums, we are able to interact more intimately with our members in each region and discuss what issues they face on a day-to-day basis. TIACA is greatly appreciative of the support of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for inviting us to Amsterdam to launch the inaugural event. We look forward to excellent discussions and outcomes,” said Steven Polmans, chairman of TIACA.

 

The first Regional Symposium will be held in Amsterdam, on June 28 in Amsterdam City Centre. TIACA said the event will include one-day interactive conference sessions, evening reception and a tour of the airport is being planned for the 29th.

 

“We are very honored to host the first TIACA Regional Event. As Europe's preferred Cargo Hub, we are more than delighted to welcome the community to Amsterdam for the kick-off event. It will be an interesting event full of new insights. We hope to see and meet many Air Cargo professionals,” said Roos Bakker, director of business development Cargo at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
