Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide. “This agreement is a further testament to our strong focus on service quality and value-added solutions for our customers."
“Demand is currently exceeding supply mainly due to the large economies performing strongly,” explained Tim Scharwath, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding. “On major trade lanes, volumes are high but capacities are low – a trend that will continue.
