Cargo Facts LATAM 2026 to explore regional growth, new trade lanes

Cargo Facts LATAM 2026 kicks off in Mexico City on Tuesday, Feb. 10, bringing together industry executives, market influencers and decision-makers across the region to discuss the latest air cargo developments in Latin America.

View the full event agenda.

E-commerce led growth in the region again in 2025, particularly along the Latin America-China trade lane.

Fleet growth in Latin America was mixed last year. While older 737 Classics remained in demand by some carriers, current-generation freighters like 737-800s and Airbus conversions continued to find their way to other operators.

In Mexico, 2025 saw Awesome Cargo start flying its A330-200P2F conversions, and Avianca rebranded AeroUnion as Avianca Cargo Mexico as part of an agreement between the two carriers.

Session highlights

Cargo Facts LATAM features two days of panels, presentations and networking opportunities.

Highlights include a fireside chat with Robert Van De Weg, CEO of mas, on the future of the Latin American market and freighter strategy in a one-on-one discussion that is not to be missed.

• The outlook for the Latin American freighter market;
