Cargo Facts Asia 2016 meets April 19-20 to talk e-commerce in Hong Kong
CARGO Facts Asia 2016 conference will be held in Hong Kong on April 19 - 20, at the Langham Hotel, 8 Peking Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui and the accent of the meeting will be on e-commerce.
The growth of e-commerce is fueling the biggest revolution in the air freight and express industry in decades, and nowhere is the impact of this greater than in China, say conference organisers.
It is in China where the domestic express industry is in upheaval as it cannot add capacity fast enough to keep up with demand for overnight delivery, they say.
"And as rapidly as online shopping took hold in China, some industry observers feel that India is on the verge of even faster growth," say organisers.
This e-commerce-fueled growth of the express industry will be front and centre at Cargo Facts Asia 2016 next month.
Speaking to the conference, will be Blue Dart Aviation managing director Tulsi N Mirchandaney who has been in the airline and express business for 30 years.
We are pleased and proud to announce that she will join us at Cargo Facts Asia, kicking off the event in a "Fireside Chat" with Cargo Facts publisher and CEO, JJ Hornblass.
Ms Mirchandaney's knowledge of the express industry is unmatched in Southeast Asia, and we can't think of a better speaker to set the stage for what will be a terrific event, say organisers.
Also speaking will be YTO Express Airlines chairman David Su, who manages China's biggest express company.
Until recently, YTO Express' focus was on ground delivery, but in the last year it has taken to the air in a big way, with the launch of its own air arm, YTO Express Airlines.
YTO is perhaps most closely connected to the e-commerce revolution, as Alibaba - the undisputed engine of that revolution - last year took a stake in the company.
YTO Express is one of 14 logistics partners that work closely with Cainiao, the logistics affiliate of Alibaba Group, and its air arm recently became a launch customer for Boeing's 737-800BCF programme with an order for 10 converted freighters.
