This comprehensive roundtable will explore opportunities and innovations in the market for widebody freighters. This market historically has featured a broad mix of production freighters and P-to-F conversions, with the preference seeming to favor the production types in recent years. Following the recent entry into service of three new production freighters, attention is turning once again to a broader variety of options in the conversion sector. Executives from industry-leading freighter suppliers and operators will provide their views of the future widebody freighter market in brief presentations, followed by a lively roundtable discussion.

Are More Ups and Downs to Come?

No region has been more important to Air Cargo than Asia-Pacific over the last several years. But in 2011, the Asian “miracle” stumbled as Air Cargo traffic and volume waned. With so much riding on the health of the Asia-Pacific market, we’ll delve into the prognosis for the region — which is nothing less than a bellwether for global Air Cargo and freighter aircraft. This roundtable will feature executives from key players in the global and Asia-Pacific Air Cargo scene.
