In this episode, Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee and Associate Editors Andrew Crider and Robert Luke discuss the first Cargo Facts LATAM conference, which took place this week in Panama City.

Cargo Facts made its debut in Latin America with groundbreaking news, developments and insight from industry leaders in the region.

At the event, Lee and Luke caught up with SmartLynx Airlines Vice President of Sales & Development Edvinas Demenius to talk about the airline’s strategy and plans for its A321 freighters.

Meanwhile, during the panel discussions, stakeholders heard from executives such as Mas Chief Executive Luis Sierra, who expanded on the carrier’s e-commerce strategy, and Cargo Three Interlines Director Rodrigo De Narvaez, who took attendees inside the executive boardroom and shared details on the airline’s decision to acquire ex-FedEx MD-10-30Fs.

LATAM Cargo Chief Executive Andres Bianchi joined the event for a fireside chat and provided a glimpse into how the airline established its presence in the region and what the future holds for Latin America’s largest cargo operator.
