Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group EDITORIAL Editor’s Note Improving value proposition in air cargo The month of May in the GCC usually signifies the sudden rise in temperature. As outdoor activities become limited overnight, Bi-monthly: Vol 04 | Issue 04 | No. 22 people tend to stay indoors and at the same time start making Middle East, Africa and South Asia plans on their long summer vacation. To our advantage, the region’s airports and airlines are well equipped to cater to the increased demand. But, despite the rush, business in general terms slows down during these hot and humid days. This is also valid for logistics sector. Passenger traffic may show signs of strength but cargo prospects for companies are not always bright.

According to IATA, this is related to the overall business confidence and world trade – especially the impact of a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing, which is into its fourth month. Motivated by the figures of last quarter’s figures, people in the industry were expecting a better 2014 in terms of cargo volumes and profitability but so far the statistics have proven otherwise.
