K CC JWT CC327615 GP9B 09.11.2015 175# 1 15-068 CargoChat Joost van Doesburg: A voice for shippers moves on If you’ve been to an air cargo logistics conference in the last seven years and you heard a Dutch- accented voice from a tall, dapper gentleman asking a probing questions about why the industry is so woefully behind regarding data transparency, then you’ve probably become acquainted with Joost van Doesburg, the airfreight policy advisor representing EVO (the Dutch Shippers Council) and the European Shippers Council. Since 2007, van Doesburg has been politely – but firmly and fearlessly – pointing out the many flaws in the current state of the airfreight industry from the perspective of the ultimate cargo customers – the shippers. At the end of October, however, this important voice of the shipper (some might say “thorn in the industry’s side”) stepped down to take a new position as public affairs officer at Vereniging Nederlandse Verkeersvliegers (VDV), the Dutch airline pilots’ association. Over the years, van Doesburg has been a tireless advocate for the needs of shippers, calling for more widespread use of digital technology to keep up with consumer demand and to find ways to simplify the supply chain. Before he left EVO/ESC, Air Cargo World spoke with him about what it’s been like to speak truth to power in this industry and whether he feels he made a difference.

@AIRCARGOWORLD | AIRCARGOWORLD.COM | DECEMBER 2015/JANUARY 2016 25 UNCHARTED

After starting with a promising surge in airfreight demand during the U.S. West Coast port crisis, 2015 has proven to be a tough year as the industry endured economic fallout from a slowdown in the Asian economy, falling airfreight demand on prominent trade routes and a marked decline in fuel surcharge revenues. Through it all, at least three cargo leaders stood out for their vision of the future – CEOs Denis Ilin of AirBridgeCargo, Dirk Reich of Cargolux, and Jeffrey S. Musser of Expeditors International. While each of these executives faced different challenges, they have been rewarded for not panicking in reaction to economic challenges and for hewing close to their strategies for growth, joint-cooperation and meeting customers’ needs.
