transport logistic 2007 – Biggest ever Air Cargo Europe

Air Cargo Europe, one of the principal showcases for the air cargo sector, is continuing to expand. This year around 200 exhibitors from over 30 countries are set to take part in this exhibition. For the first time an entire hall, with 11,000 square metres of exhibition space, is being devoted to the theme of air cargo at transport logistic, which takes place from 12 to 15 June 2007 in Munich.

Exhibiting at Air Cargo Europe 2007 in Hall A4 will be leading international air cargo companies. Alongside German exhibitors, who make up the largest contingent, there will be many companies here from the US, Great Britain and the Arab world. For the first time this year the event is attracting exhibitors from Azerbaijan, Georgia and Brazil.

The Air Cargo Europe exhibition is accompanied by a two-day conference, taking place on the mornings of 13 and 14 June 2007. Here leading figures in the industry will be discussing current themes in the sector. Following the welcoming address on 13 June by the new Chairman of Lufthansa Cargo AG, Carsten Spohr, attention will turn to the question of what the customer really wants. Answers to this will be explored by panellists Dr Ulrich Ogiermann, President & CEO of Cargolux Airlines International S.A., Ludwig Simmel, Senior Manager Supply Chain Management of Toshiba Europe GmbH and Oliver Evans, Executive Vice President, SwissWorldCargo.
