Glyn Hughes has been appointed to the newly created role of director general of The International Air Cargo Association (Tiaca), effective from February next year.
He brings to the position more than 36 years of industry experience including leadership roles in air cargo, passenger, financial, training and industry affairs. He has until now led a team of cargo experts at Iata as its global head of cargo.
“Although the Covid-19 crisis has brought a spotlight on air cargo, working hard to deliver essential medicine and supplies fast and safely, despite the global lockdown, the global pandemic has also highlighted the urgent need for air cargo to accelerate its digital and sustainable transformation, to develop collaborative business models, and speak with a united voice to come out of this unprecedented crisis more resilient.”
