Fried Asks Willie Walsh |
Airlines Might Cease To Exist, Says International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s Willie Walsh. With Brandon Fried Head of the U.S. based The Airforwarders Association Association (l) is Willie Walsh, Director General of IATA as the Cargo Network Services Corp. (CNS) Partnership Conference in Miami took off early shortly after sunrise Monday August 30 for a half hour meeting on stage from 08:10 to 08:40. The encounter was definitely the drawing card for CNS although anyone that stayed up late or skipped the light breakfast may have missed the live meeting. What could be more dynamic than the legend at the top of IATA that everybody wants to know about with the most iconic broad-based personality in air cargo? Brandon Fried is fearless: He will talk to anybody and he knows everybody! Here are a couple of highlights From Willie Walsh: On Air Cargo: “I can say this and say it honestly, and you can talk to the people who've worked for me. I've always had an appreciation for the contribution that cargo makes, because, you know, I understand.” On Survival of Airlines: “We've got to hammer home with governments that if they want an effective airline & cargo industry, they're going to have get together and agree on common standards and regulations; there should be a common agenda to work together to try and keep people moving. “We're going to face it (shutdown) again, it's inevitable that we'll face this situation again with governments around the world saying, okay, we're shutting down. “We really do need to get out there and get the message across that the industry will not exist if we go through this again.” |
