One of the nicest, smartest and best air cargo people we have met in our 31 years in this business, Peter Yap who is Regional Director and Area Manager
for Asia Pacific for Air Bridge will retire from the company at the end of January 2006.
Stan Wraight, Vice President of Volga Dnepr said:
"Without doubt, ABC would be nowhere in China
without Peter's leadership.
“He is a true icon in this business."
Peter Yap joined Air Bridge Cargo in 2003 after pioneering air cargo services' sales management in the Asia-Pacific region.
Peter served as top cargo executive at China Airlines cargo where he put that carrier’s freighter program on the map.
Later at Atlas Air with his friend Mike Chowdry, Mr. Yap helped build Atlas in China.
Robert Song succeeds Peter as Regional Director based in Shanghai.

Power On To Miami Mail December 5-6 Despite some rough weather in Miami, Florida which caused cancellation of its premier air cargo show, Air Cargo Americas earlier this autumn (see next item), the power is up and all indications are full speed ahead as The World Mail & Express Americas conference in Miami shapes up as 2005’s biggest air cargo event for the Americas and Caribbean. Organized by Triangle Management Services, based in the UK, WMX has been in business at locations around the world since 1988. The Miami event will be the 23rd in the series; Set to held at the Sheraton Bal Harbor resort in Miami, December 5-6 the show organizer Triangle Management of London says that a wide audience including national post offices, parcel companies, couriers, major international customers, mailing houses, consultants and suppliers to the industry will be in evidence at Miami.
Paul Jackson, who masterminds WMX (seen here earlier this year in Dubai with his son Neil, who also leads the way at Triangle) told FT:
“As the most important annual mail and express conference in the region, this summit gives delegates the opportunity to meet fellow industry leaders from across the continent.
“They will be able to strengthen existing bonds and build new relationships with partners and customers, as well as hearing the views on the current marketplace from the region’s leading mail and express executives.”
Outside the conference hall, the refreshment breaks and poolside dinner will provide a more relaxed backdrop for talking over the issues of the day with colleagues.
The breaks will also offer the opportunity to browse the exhibition stands of the region’s leading suppliers.
A list of those who have already booked to attend in Miami, the full program for the show and the online registration form can all be found at www.triangle.eu.com/americas.

Elsewhere comes word that Air Cargo Americas, the trade event that was supposed to be held in Miami during late October but was blown away at show time by Hurricane Wilma, has been rescheduled.
New show dates are March 1-3 2006 at Sheraton Hotel 777 NW 72 Avenue Miami, Florida 33126.
