Freeing air cargo (1145 words)
European all-cargo airline executives faced off against a high-ranking U.S. aviation official at The International Air Cargo Association’s biannual forum in Washington, D.C. No ground was gained on any pressing issues relevant to cargo rights between Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Cargo executives called for a new system of negotiating international aviation rights based on regional agreements, as opposed to the current system of bilateral treaties that has existed since the Chicago Convention of 1944.
All-cargo airlines should be treated like other modes of freight transportation, such as ocean shipping, that are more or less free to serve international trade without a high-level of intervention from government.
North America (1406 words)
That was hardly a radical thought in the 1990s as operations soared at cargo carriers who specialized in ACMI - for the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance costs that airlines such as Gemini cover in their leases to airlines.
Gemini doesn't have that kind of exposure - largely because it is nowhere near as large as Atlas and has a far more limited customer list.
At the heart of Gemini's strategy is developing long-term strategic opportunities that positions the carrier as a "diverse global company that appeals to and transports to all regions of the world," said Corcoran.
