The Workshop

Seattle-based Air Cargo Management Group (ACMG), founded in 1978 with the advent of all-cargo deregulation, is offering a 1½ day seminar sharing the expertise and experience of the full-time staff of seven cargo professionals at ACMG. The company has developed its consulting niche over the last years in freight market research, air cargo market strategy advisory and freighter aircraft applications for the worldwide air freight and express industry, which we are now making available to participants wishing to know more about this distinct segment of the airline industry. ACMG’s three senior staff directors will present a full review of the air cargo industry structure, its operating economics, and freighter aircraft types. Each delegate will take away a 350-page syllabus with the data and commentary presented at the workshop. We encourage participants in aviation that are unaware of the differences that exist today between the economic performance of passenger carriers versus the participants in the air cargo and express side of the industry to attend this unique event.

The Program

With ACMG's years of knowledge and experience, workshop participants will be better able to identify the key trends in the air freight, express and freighter aircraft industry. Three separate workshop sessions will focus on the current structure of the market, how it is changing, the aircraft that are and will be used to transport high value goods and the financial metrics of the companies that provide the services. Participants will be in an position to better understand how to provide services to the rapidly expanding international air freight and express market. The workshop is tailored to airlines, industry suppliers and financial analysts who want to learn more about the air freight operating companies' performance in the aerospace industry.

Who Should Attend

Financial analysts, appraisers, consultants, airport managers, pro­fessionals in accounting and legal firms, and others wishing to better understand freighter aircraft operating economics and the market performance of the worldwide expedited air transportation business.
