Fireside chat with Nina Strippel
Our Young Air Cargo Executives got exclusive behind-the-scenes insights in a fireside chat with Nina Strippel , Managing Director Wallenborn Germany GmbH & Vice President Wallenborn Poland, on November 18th. Nina's career reflects a dynamic path of exploration and growth, as she alternated between the passenger and airfreight industries before finding her dedication to airfreight.
Her career path is a testament to how dedication, adaptability and patience can drive success in the fast-paced air cargo industry. These three pillars of her advice have proven to be powerful tools for our young professionals to follow their path.
A big THANK YOU to Nina for sharing her experiences with us and inspiring the next generation of air cargo leaders! More details about the fireside chat can be found in the Cargo Forwarder article.
Thanksgiving at the ACCF: A thank you for commitment and success
Once again this year, the Air Cargo Community held its traditional Thanksgiving on the last Thursday in November at the IntercityHotel Frankfurt Airport. In addition to the managing directors of the member companies, those who were actively involved in the association's work in 2024 were also invited.
The event kicked off with an entertaining presentation by Felix Toepsch , who summarized the achievements of the Air Cargo Community over the past year. Particularly impressive: the number of members has increased significantly and, with 91 companies, clearly exceeds the original target.
Another highlight was the successful launch of the Common PreCheck project, which is making a significant contribution to optimizing processes in CargoCity South. The Hub Performance competence team and its individual working groups also recorded their first successes. In addition, the public perception of the air cargo community was strengthened by the new TikTok channel. Some member companies have already used it to create their own content. Interested parties can get in touch with the team at tiktok@fra-fr8.de - an easy way to generate added value for your own company via social media.
Another milestone was the launch of the new ACCF website, which can be accessed at www.aircargocommunity.com. The newly integrated exclusive member area with practical functions such as an event calendar and a download area was presented for the first time. An innovative job portal for air freight and logistics was also developed, the result of collaboration between the People & Culture competence team and the Communications team. Member companies can purchase a flat rate at a budget-friendly price, which enables them to publish unlimited job advertisements on the platform for one year and receive all unsolicited applications received. The proceeds will be invested in public advertising campaigns to further increase the visibility and success rate of the portal. All member companies will receive a special letter in the next few days.
The official part of the event ended with a look ahead to 2025. This was followed by the traditional group photo in front of the Christmas tree and the long-awaited turkey buffet. The evening provided ample opportunity for culinary enjoyment and intensive networking.
Together we were able to achieve a great deal - and it is only with the support of all members that we can continue to build on our success. Feedback from members, such as the results of the latest survey, is particularly valuable in helping us to determine our future direction.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation, trust and joint success. Your commitment and support have made this year particularly valuable.
We wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas season full of peace, joy and beautiful moments. May the festive season give you time to relax and recharge your batteries.
For the new year 2025, we wish you health, happiness and many positive developments - both professionally and personally. Let's master new challenges together in the coming year and celebrate further successes.
Merry Christmas and a good start to the new year!
