Posted on | by admin

“As the next generation of air cargo professionals, we are capable of using or inventing new tools to uplift the airfreight industry into an innovative future.”

In a section titled “The Future of Air Cargo” Schiphol Airport has interviewed Fleur Gase, the Network Manager of Reibel Air and Ocean Freight, Conqueror member in Amsterdam, among other young and female air cargo professionals.

In this interview, Fleur Gase – who is 31 years old and joined the family freight forwarding business after briefly working in the media industry –gives a fresh perspective on the changes in the airfreight industry, which was traditionally male-dominated. She also emphasizes how digital technology, innovation, and more accessible career paths will make a great impact on the future of the air-cargo industry: “We are capable of using or inventing new tools to uplift the airfreight industry into a new dimension and an innovative future.”

Gase is also passionate about embracing digital technology and predicts that the future of air cargo lies in innovation. “As the next generation of air cargo professionals, we have grown up with constantly advancing technology.”

Additionally, she believes that the air cargo industry can move forward by replacing the “old boys’ network” with more accessible career paths that are open to diversity, and therefore, innovation. “One reason that air cargo does not attract many young professionals is that our industry is not sexy, but if we offer young professionals the skills and opportunities that they need to advance and work towards a bright future, then I believe that we will be able to retain more talent.” she said.

Conqueror Montreal handles a shipment of a turnkey door-to-door operation for the movement of a flight simulator amidst a heavy snowstorm

Posted on | by admin

The cargo which was shipped from Canada to China was moved by an Antonov 124-100, a long-range aircraft meant for heavy transport

AT&L Canada, the CQR member in Montreal, Canada, has recently moved a cargo consisting of a turnkey door-to-door operation for the movement of a flight simulator from Canada to China. In order to achieve this monumental task, the Aerospace Division of AT&L chartered an Antonov 124-100 which is one of the world’s largest freighters for moving heavyweight and oversized cargo.

 

As this project was carried out during the dead of winter, it required special arrangements for the storage of the units. “We arranged for 4 double drop trailers (out of gauge) at YMX airport which were waiting for the arrival of the charter. Handling this project was challenging indeed since we had to operate at a temperature below the freezing point in the middle of heavy rain and snowfall,” says Ms. Marie-Christine Gaudreault the Business Development Director of AT&L Canada.

Their Charter Manager’s decision to secure the freight airside proved invaluable as on the day of the landing and loading, Montreal was hit by a snowstorm and the department of transport would have grounded the equipments since OOG orders are not permitted on roads during white-out conditions. Ms. Gaudreault further added, “Thanks to the ingenuity of our Charter Manager and the hard work put forward by our team members, the project was successfully concluded within a week’s time and the shipment reached the customer exactly on time,”

Congratulations to AT&L Canada for a job well done!
