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

• Startup Aero Nusantara Cargo acquired its first 737-300F (26854, ex-Central Airlines) this month, joining eight other 737 Classic freighter operators in Indonesia;
• Air China Cargo has become the first mainland Chinese carrier to buy Airbus’ new A350F with an order for at least six units;
• HNA Aviation Group subsidiary Suparna Airlines took delivery of two 777Fs (70288 and 70289) in September and October, becoming the type’s sixth operator in China;
• Malaysia’s Sin-Kung Airways took delivery of its first aircraft in August, a 1998-vintage 737-400SF (29204); and
• Korean Air ordered seven A350Fs from Airbus in October after signing a deal with Boeing for eight 777-8Fs in August.

Cargo Facts Consulting will offer a workshop before the event for attendees to enhance their understanding of the freighter market and gain new ideas and approaches to freighter operations and management by leveraging data analysis tools used by the Cargo Facts Consulting team.

In addition to a fireside chat with a leading industry executive, Cargo Facts Asia will include discussions around:

• The Asia-Pacific freighter market;
• The state of freighter conversions;
• Engine and feedstock availability;
• Growing e-commerce; and
• Advanced air mobility developments in Asia.

Cargo Facts positively engages stakeholders, industry leaders and participants with insightful assessments of the freighter industry, aimed at expanding market opportunities and strengthening existing relationships, while welcoming new entrants looking to develop and grow their networks in the air cargo sector.
