FlyingTalkers By Geoffrey Arend

Something I learned early on in our early effort 45 years ago to create a publication quite unlike any other for the air cargo industry:
In order to have a clearer vision of what lies ahead be sure and gather as much information as possible that deals with what has already happened.
So, the first order of business at Flying Typers has always been to cast a clear line to the history of air cargo.
Now with COVID-19 touching every part of the world with every person that you ever met part of a common experience we thought to write to some people who have spent the best years of their lives building the industry but now in retirement might be nudged into venturing forth with some ideas and opinions to share with the folks who in 2020 are actively day to day doing the heavy lifting in our business today.
Thankfully we have something to report for that effort that begins today with Jacques Ancher who created the wildly successful modern air cargo structure at KLM Cargo ,
Ram Menen the man who began on the ramp when Emirates Airline had only couple leased in planes from Pakistan and then for the next three decades was most responsible for Sky Cargo emerging as a world power.
Also, today Dave Brooks who served as President Cargo for American Airlines from year to year shares some thoughts.
American Airlines in 2020 is the biggest airline in the world but the carrier’s cargo enterprise great as a great giant unleashed in many directions all over the world during the Brooks years.
We find it reassuring that although both of these gentlemen put down their sword quite some time ago like many of us the care and passion for our industry has not faded.
As we often have said and it is especially true here, for Jacques Ram & Dave the song may have ended but the melody lingers on.
