This was the Transport logistic 2023

After the Covid break, the transport logistic trade fair took place again this year in Munich.

The Air Cargo Community Frankfurt e.V. team was the point of contact for their members at the #FrankfurtAirport booth. At COM.together! on Thursday afternoon, they had the opportunity to network while enjoying Frankfurt specialties.

The second networking meeting of the European Cargo Communities ("European Cluster") also took place during the trade fair. In a personal meeting with colleagues from the airports ADP, BRU & MAD best practices, trends and common project ideas could be exchanged.

We would like to thank especially the team of Fraport AG for the opportunity to share a very well visited booth.

YACE meets FACE

The Young Air Cargo Executives (YACE) from Frankfurt had the opportunity to exchange ideas with other young professionals at the World Cargo Symposium in Istanbul. YACE also played an active role in the program: Lea Walther opened IATA's Future Air Cargo Executives (FACE) Summit with a keynote speech on career development in the aviation industry after Corona. The entire agenda of the Summit was themed "Attracting New Talent" to make career opportunities for young people in air cargo more transparent while securing the future of our industry. The Young Air Cargo Executives flew back to Frankfurt with new ideas and motivation to put the industry in a new light from the perspective of the younger generation.

In order to gain inspiration and insights into career paths from well-known representatives of the industry here, the series of fireside chats has already started and will go into the next round on June 29. This time Diana Schoeneich , CEO Georgi Handling, will tell about her journey and provide a look behind the scenes of success.

Pharma competence team with new flyer

In line with the transport logistic trade fair in Munich, the Pharma Competence Team completed the flyer to present the services and key data relating to pharmaceuticals at Frankfurt Airport. This was the first step towards increasing the visibility of the location and promoting the existing infrastructure. "Marketing Pharma" is currently being pursued in various working groups within the Pharma competence team, in addition to other focal points in the direction of processes, transparency and communication of pharma in Frankfurt. If you are interested in helping to shape and thus actively participate in the Pharma competence team, please feel free to contact Lea Walther .

Sustainability in the ACCF - Start of the 1st Sustainability-Exchange

On May 26th, more than 20 representatives of the community met for the first Sustainability-Exchange. The aim of the event was the networking of the respective sustainability experts and the identification of cross-community potentials and measures. 

We would especially like to thank Radhika Ralhan and Susanne Klingler-Werner ( UPS Supply Chain Solutions ), who gave the participants an overview of UPS' sustainability strategy as a thematic introduction. Radhika emphasized the importance of cross-company exchange at the site and agreement on common goals.

This year's regional dialogue was already dedicated to the topic of sustainability in March. The findings from this and the results of the last ACCF sustainability survey formed the basis for a lively discussion.

Where do we go from here? - Following the event, the open topics will be structured and processed in a small group made up of various member companies. We would like to thank Harald Sieke , Radhika Ralhan , Niko Hossain , Johannes Fehl , Moritz Tölke and Steve John for their support.

Subsequently, the results will be presented in a second Sustainability-Exchange in order to decide on them as well as on the further procedure.

Best regards

Your team of the Air Cargo Community Frankfurt e.V.
