Cargo Facts Asia returns to Shanghai in 2025

Cargo Facts is delighted to announce the 13th annual Cargo Facts Asia event, taking place in China on March 24-26 at The W Shanghai – The Bund.

This marquee event will focus on the burgeoning Asia-Pacific freighter market, as industry leaders and executives directly involved in daily business operations gather to share their insights on the air cargo sector while providing attendees a platform to establish relationships with key decision-makers and network with peers.

A recent space of carrier, MRO and lessor activity is shaping the freighter segment in the Asia-Pacific market, including:

• HNA Aviation Group signing an A330P2F conversion deal with EFW;
• Central Airlines becoming a 777F CMI operator for DHL;
• EFW launching a conversion line in Japan in the second half of 2025;
• Qantas completing its transition to an all-Airbus freighter fleet; and
• Avolon parent China-based Bohai Leasing acquiring Castlelake Aviation.

Cargo Facts Consulting will offer a workshop before the event for attendees to share market trends and developments in the industry through data analysis tools used by the Cargo Facts Consulting team.
