     “Delta Cargo’s new President, Peter Penseel, brings over 30 years of expertise in the cargo industry and is deeply committed to building a world-class cargo division that delivers unmatched reliability to service excellence for our customers.
     “2024 has been a standout year, with revenue up 7% YTD, and a remarkable 27% YoY growth in the most recent quarter ending in September.

     Party Hearty . . . Highlight of the The International Air Cargo Association TIACA Forum Day One was an imaginative, invitation only Customer Party hosted by President Delta Air Lines Cargo Peter Penseel (r) pictured here with Director Cargo Sales Americas Andy Kirschner.
     Held on the eighth floor rooftop of the Moxy Hotel, the venue boasts a spectacular panorama of Miami South Beach where the night lights up like day all along Washington Avenue.
     The view glittering below in a three quarter moonstruck evening delivered a sense of adventure, excitement and expectation above the ordinary as the band played on. It was thrilling to be above it all.
     Guests enjoyed a seafood buffet par excellence and of course, Andy’s delight, a giant container dominator Max GW 3,500 pounds, somehow delivered eight floors above ground level that conveyed a subtle message:
     ”If you’ve got the cargo, we’ve got the capacity anywhere in the world.”
     Nice start for the Air Cargo Forum sent customers post conference into the night uplifted from a journey to a heightened experience.

     “With Delta Cargo investments in advanced technology, more cargo-capable widebody aircraft, and new routes and frequencies in high-demand cargo markets, we are fully committed to providing best-in class service and staying close to our customers to ensure we exceed their daily needs and expectations,”Andy said.

     “Andy is no overnight sensation at Delta Cargo but rather a long time steady hand.
     “I was working in Delta’s Airport Operations and Customer Service team when I had the opportunity to join the Delta Cargo Sales team 25 years ago.
Started in Cargo as Inside Sales Account Manager and from there I grew into other roles including Account Manager, Regional Sales, National Sales, Global Sales, General Manager of USA and Director of the Americas.
     “It has been an amazing career at Delta – nearly 30 years have flown by!,” Andy smiled.
     We wonder asking the question we are sharing with several industry leaders in our coverage at Air Cargo Forum this week:
     What drives you most . . . the joy of winning or the fear of losing?
     Andy picks up that query right away
     “Our team’s resilience and adaptability in 2024 has been truly inspiring.
     “Despite unexpected international challenges impacting freight operations and continued labor shortages across the industry, our teams have consistently found innovative solutions to keep business moving.
     “The thrill of victory and the drive to succeed fuel our energy as we collaborate on impactful programs, seeing firsthand the value our customers gain from the remarkable dedication of our cargo team.
     “This commitment to problem-solving and service excellence is what sets Delta Cargo apart, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional service no matter the circumstance,” Andy Kirschner said.
