As TIACA Air Cargo Forum meets in Miami next week, a sought after new addition to the top management scheme at a major airline, that everybody is wondering about is Peter Penseel who landed in Atlanta as SVP and President Delta Cargo on June 1, 2024.
     Delta will be well represented in Booth 551 at The Air Cargo Forum inside The Miami Convention Center.
     Peter hails from the Netherlands, the place where maybe it's something in the water, driving a culture for air cargo that has delivered some of the brainiest logisticians in the world.
     Peter is a triple threat, having chalked up three decades plus of experience in pivotal roles across the air cargo, freight forwarding and logistics sectors.
     He served as the Chief Operating Officer – Airfreight at CEVA Logistics, held positions at Qatar Airways Cargo, DHL Global Forwarding and UTi Worldwide (DSV A/S).
     Peter carries not only a solid reputation for results, but this flying Dutchman is also a consummate professional and a nice guy.
     With Miami serving as a backdrop, cargo people who have not already met him, will experience someone who has a tiger by the tail ,and in short order has set a tone of excitement and possibilities into the air cargo fortunes of a great airline.
     We asked Peter three basic questions of his first four months atop Delta Cargo.

     “Since joining Delta Cargo, I’ve discovered an incredible level of commitment across our teams to deliver for our customers.
     “Every day, I see the passion and resilience that drives us to innovate and go beyond simply moving cargo; our teams are dedicated to creating seamless, reliable solutions that connect people and products worldwide.
     “This commitment underpins everything we do and sets Delta Cargo apart in the industry.”

     “Our team works closely not only with each other but also with our customers and partners to anticipate challenges and adapt quickly to industry changes. The collective focus on continuous improvement and efficiency has been especially impressive; everyone is dedicated to finding smarter ways to operate, create a more seamless experience for our customers, and deliver on our commitments.”
