Emirates SkyCargo Update |
 It’s Summer Dog Days and time when cargo people and their organizations kick back a bit, almost everywhere in the world by taking one for the team at various golf and social events outside the daily grind of industry events. Trade shows and upbeat discussion groups and company pitchmen and women are off somewhere spending lazy afternoons for a brief few weeks, catching their breath after a very active business and social first half of 2024. While the interlude in contact air cargo will be brief, one way you can tell early July heralds a slow air cargo news month, is to Google “air cargo” as we did on July 8 to the following result: “Get your Tommy Hilfiger John Light Cargo Shorts in Khaki Only $48.00,” lit up our screen for the Google search word "Cargo." When a snazzy pair of cargo shorts is bigger 'cargo' news than 'sustainability, digitalization, or artificial intelligence' in Google, that seems like a good time to get to work to find news that is always there, where the rubber meets the road. Exciting news from Emirates SkyCargo, which has just named Badr Abbas as Divisional Senior Vice President (DSVP) SkyCargo, reporting to Nabil Sultan, who himself got upped from DSVP SkyCargo to Emirates Airline Executive Vice President Passenger Sales and Country Management, (also in charge of SkyCargo). EK, come to think of it, has only had three top Cargo executives (DSVP’s) since it was founded in 1985, the aforementioned duo named here and the man that put them into business in the first place, Ram Menen. Abbas at Emirates for the past 24 years had most recently served as Senior Vice President – Commercial Operations (Africa). Recently SkyCargo has been at work developing the next generation of cargo leaders from its own ranks, wherein 32 candidates are part of an Executive Leadership Program, designed to equip the cargo leaders with the commercial and leadership skillset for future success. The candidates were handpicked from Emirates SkyCargo’s pool of high performing cargo managers and include both Emirati Nationals as well as other nationalities from the airline’s outstations. “Implementing this Executive Leadership Program is a crucial step on our long-term strategic roadmap, ensuring we foster the outstanding talent within our commercial operations to take the helm of Emirates SkyCargo to greater heights in the future,” said Nadeem Sultan, Senior Vice President of Cargo Planning and Freighters, Emirates SkyCargo. “Creating an environment of development and providing continuous opportunities for learning contributes to the long tenure of Emirates SkyCargo staff, and helps us attract the best talent in the industry, despite the challenging environment,” he added. As the logistics industry faces a lack of skilled workforce, Emirates SkyCargo's efforts to create opportunities for growth within its operations, inspiring employees across all levels to develop their career with the airline makes good sense.
