“Without
a doubt,” Cargo Network Services (CNS)
President Lionel van der Walt declares,
“The year 2017 will bring unprecedented
change in USA.
“Personally, I believe that with change
comes opportunity. Air Cargo Awareness Campaign
“The importance of our sector and
its impact on the U.S. economy and GDP is
unquestionable.
“Most end consumers,” Lionel
insists, “especially newer generations
that will play a key role in the future
of our country, hardly ever give much thought
to the critical role air cargo plays in
their daily lives, such as the clothing
they wear, the electronic goods they rely
on, the health care they and their loved
ones depend on, the concerts and sporting
events they enjoy, the fresh foods they
rely on, the flowers they send on special
occasions, and the list goes on.” Pushing The Right Buttons
“In 2017 in many parts of the world,
daily needs are available at the push of
a button or a short trip to the local store.
“It always amazes me how many people
transit through our major gateways such
as MIA, JFK, LAX, ORD, etc. and don’t
know that a few feet away from them there
is a frenzy of air cargo activity taking
place. Change Is In The Air
“CNS proposes an awareness effort
focused toward government that will underscore
the value that air cargo delivers in the
U.S. at a national level, and a deep dish,
ongoing look into the value that air cargo
brings at a regional level. The Vision Thing
“The vision is to have a portal where
we build interest in our industry and where
people can freely access and retrieve information.
“Our communication channel is purposed
to make the air cargo key message visible
in and around passenger areas at airports,
e.g. video messages on monitors, posters
along walkways and on pillars, etc. Passion For Air Cargo
“Never before in my lifetime have
I had the privilege to work with such passionate,
committed, and innovative colleagues,”
Lionel assures.
“One thing is certain, though, the
role of CNS and its various industry association
partners as educators and influencers is
going to be more critical than ever.
“Air cargo is a conduit for global
and U.S. trade, supporting and creating
millions of jobs.
“CNS welcomes anybody who might be
interested in collaborating with us on this
project, Lionel declares. CNS

Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport will
soon install a cold chain facility, operational
this summer. AirLogistix USA will operate the
new facility. “The DFW gateway has the advantage of being located in the central United States, which helped drive our expansion into North Texas,” Ray Brimble, President and CEO of Lynxs Group, owner of AirLogistix USA, told FT. “We look forward to working with all airlines that serve DFW. “Our facility will be available to distributors and forwarders who need to keep their perishable and temperature-sensitive goods cool during shipping, with particular emphasis on transit through the airport. We are ready to get started at DFW.” Ray Brimble on Supply Chain Middle Mile. |
