Description

 
All Together Now 
FIATA, the freight forwarders organization meets every Spring to listen, learn and share their experiences with friends and colleagues.
The 2019 Annual headquarters meeting held in Zurich Switzerland was a unparalleled success.
FIATA In Person Is Unbeatable 
The unique atmosphere one breathes at the FIATA HQ – and even more so at the FIATA Congresses, which have 3 to 4 times more participants – is something you have to try yourself.
Words are not enough to describe the endless opportunities and the meaningful encounters everywhere, anytime FIATA meets! 
Even casual words seem to become meaningful in the end, thanks to FIATA.
As I am proudly the one and only FIATA Fellow in the world, having been recognized and elevated at one of these sessions in 2016, I am proud to be a FIATA Fellow and keenly well aware of the efforts that are deployed to make these meetings great every year.
Thanks to former FIATA Director General Marco Sorgetti here is a unique inside look as FIATA Headquarters Session unfolded.
 
“Time Flies” when your having fun is an old saying. 
For Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) “Time Flies” doesn’t work while you are waiting on an airport.
It has been almost 14 years since construction began in 2006 to develop BER, a world class airport that was supposed to host a spectacular opening in 2012.
Today as you read this the airport is still sitting empty and unused.
Next week as the world meets in Munich share a watchful eye at BER the airport that by now was supposed to be serving the capital of Germany.
Sorry to reports that BER is by any measure the biggest boondoggle and airport construction failure in the history of airports.
Thanks A LOT! A few minutes with a 30 year cargo veteran and "Mohair Sam", smooth operator, Marek Kasiak of LOT Polish Airlines Cargo
