The Workshop

Air Cargo Management Group’s Seventh Annual Air Cargo, Express & Freighter Aircraft Workshop is a unique opportunity to learn about current trends in air cargo and express, and receive analysis and insight from one of the most experienced air cargo consulting groups in the industry. ACMG’s three senior staff di­rectors will present a full review of the air cargo industry's struc­ture, its operating economics, freighter aircraft types and ap­pli­ca­tions, in-depth market analysis and freighter airline strat­egies at this 1 ½ day seminar. Each delegate will take away a 350-page syllabus with the data, analysis and commentary pre­sented at the workshop.

Seattle-based Air Cargo Management Group, was founded in 1978 with the advent of U.S. air cargo deregulation and has become the leader in air cargo, express, and freighter airline industry consulting services. Workshop participants will benefit from ACMG's years of experience in market research and strategy and freighter air­craft applications for the worldwide air freight and express 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. Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will be able to identify the key trends in the air freight, express and freighter aircraft industry. Participants will be in a position to understand better how to provide goods and services to the 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 air trans­por­ta­tion industry.
