Panel members to be confirmed.
Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed air cargo (forever)?
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the air transport industry. While passenger numbers plummeted, demand for air cargo was fuelled by the need for PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), vaccine distribution and the increasing importance of online shopping. This created a new dynamic in the air cargo sector, that until the pandemic was heavily dependent on passenger aircraft carrying cargo in the belly hold. With Cranfield alumni who work for airlines and airports, we will discuss the changes to the air cargo sector and whether these changes are permanent or transitory.
