The fast-paced air cargo business plays a vital role in global trade, allowing for the rapid transport of goods across continents. It is essential for transporting high-value goods, urgent shipments, and time-sensitive items such as pharmaceuticals, which require swift and secure delivery to maintain their integrity. This makes air freight the preferred option for industries that rely on the rapid, reliable movement of critical supplies across the globe. Air cargo accounts for only 1% of total freight by weight but 35% of global trade by value. For passenger airlines, cargo income provides an additional revenue stream, which helps them to stay profitable. The belly-hold of passenger aircraft is frequently used for freight, allowing airlines to maximize their assets by carrying goods alongside passengers, enhancing overall financial resilience.
Under the management of Frederick Overton, AVIAREPS’ aviation experts will utilize their extensive experience and local expertise to connect airlines to freight forwarders and logistics providers to ensure seamless transport. AVIAREPS air cargo services include: Cargo Sales, Reservations, Customer Service, Truck & Flight Planning, Revenue Accounting and Total Cargo Management.

Frederick Overton, Global Head of Cargo AVIAREPS: “I am proud to be entrusted with overseeing the AVIAREPS air cargo GSA division. It is an exciting industry that can adapt quickly if consumer demand changes and has easily adjusted to the ever-growing e-commerce market. In times of digitalization, being able to send shipments without paper and making digital bookings is essential also for the cargo industry, while at the same time, face-to-face interactions and interpersonal contacts remain crucial for the business.
