Glyn & Ram On Air Cargo
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025

“Everybody talks about, but no one does a thing about it” is a popular notion about what? “The weather!” But as we close 2025 in an absolute blizzard of industry events of all kinds, it’s time to point some focus on which gathering of air cargo and logistics really meant something above and beyond everyone’s desire of furthering transport. Here we humbly submit a dissertation upon logistics by two stalwarts of our industry, who we think as you read about their event may have done more to advance an idea of a logistics career amongst the next generation than anybody anywhere else during the year that was 2025. Ram Menen, who built Emirates SkyCargo and now is retired and Glyn Hughes who at IATA and TIACA has built everything else and is still active, have both done all of this before. Very thankful that during their second version of outreach we caught up with them so that we can report what they said in detail and can share with you some quality time with these two experts who were making friends for logistics amongst some young people. The driver here is the fact that air cargo and logistics needs to involve and build itself amongst the upcoming next generation. Here for you dear reader, we share a futurist template that can serve to move us ahead in recruiting the next generation to lead our industry in 2026 and beyond.
