Ports In Los Angeles Go From Bad To Worse/What Is Really Happening At Airports?/Goodbye Big Don Lamy FlyingTalkers By Geoffrey Arend

    • Aviation

“As the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach go from bad to worse we now have LAX at a near breaking point with airfreight storage in some cases costing at 24 hours after arrival in excess of $1.00 kg per day.
“Hang on as this is going to get much more chaotic before it gets better.”

The speaker is Peter Lamy President of Intelligent Supply Chain Management (iSCM) and American Worldwide Agencies (AWA) based in Hawthorne, California.



Cargo facilities at most U.S. airports are inadequate for what’s ahead! Since 2000, cargo improvements at most U.S. airports were almost nil until E-commerce and a pandemic sparked new interest. Resolving the gaps is far more difficult in mature markets where development comes up to the fences. Airports like Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on 14,000 acres are rare.



Don Lamy was a force of nature when we knew him as top man in the Americas at Air New Zealand Cargo, the airline he served and became famous for building in the U.S..

From Los Angeles Don had that cargo operation humming, and punching way above its weight for decades.
