If

Taking an idea
into reality and then bringing it out to the world has always been
uppermost on the mind of Amar More, the CEO of Kale Logistics. This
is the Mumbai-based company that revolutionized the air cargo process
by implementing the Kale Exclusive Cargo Community System for smaller

Day One of The International

storm began. Day Two is supposed to speeding up 25-50 mph winds, but
know thankfully Miami is not in the direct path nor appears at this
point to not be on “'the dirty side of the storm’. Attendance
is busy. It appears that people travelling from overseas are here
at ACF and cancellations were minimal, mostly amongst people from
this hemisphere. |

When it comes to being practical while also being Dutch, Jacques H.M.
Heeremans has all bases covered. This long time GSA Managing Director

RE: How Miami Landed Its First Asian Carrier
Hi Geoffrey,
I was amused to read
the article about Peter Yap in today's Flying Typers, as when I first
met Peter in the early 1980s he was actually responsible for ULD at
CI !!!! And he was quite a character then even though he was well
down the pecking order in a small office in the China Airlines head
office on Nanjing Road! |
