USA Air Forwarders In Nashville /Year 2019 That Was /Kansa City Jazz & Cocktails

FlyingTalkers By Geoffrey Arend

Just when all across USA, everyone was watching The Super Bowl in Miami last Sunday, the U.S. Air forwarders Association held their annual event in Nashville Tenn. As the first event of the long conference agenda for cargo that will continue all over the world almost every month in 2020, AfA gets the gold ring, out of the gate, for tenacity and heart. This is truly the air cargo event "for everybody else." Here is an exclusive first-hand report from Donna Mullins featuring her impressions of the AfA gathering. Last year can be recalled as a time that delivered less than spectacular numbers, with tariffs and trade wars and upheaval in Hong Kong, that turned the most powerful air cargo gateway in the world into silly putty.. So overall, world air cargo chargeable weight dipped by 4.4% in 2019, Air Cargo Data (ACD) reported Thursday January 30. On Sunday February 2, Super Bowl in Miami and The Kansas City Chiefs’ stunning come-from-behind victory was the thing here in USA and elsewhere around the world for sports fans. I have to admit, I look at this big show-stopping football event as the post-game gateway to heaven, meaning the advent of six months of nonstop baseball every year. But this year brought back some memories of being in 1970 in Kansas City, a place that straddles the states of Missouri and Kansas, at (what else?) a trade show. It was the last time the Kansas City Chiefs appeared in a Super Bowl.
