Air cargo plays a vital role in global trade, transporting goods worth $8 trillion each year. The sector remains resilient, with volumes projected to reach 71.7 million tonnes in 2026.

However, tariff policies, supply chain disruptions, and shifts in global trade patterns continue to create uncertainty and unintended consequences.

The panel, moderated by Richard Quest, consisted of:
-Michael Steen, CEO, Atlas Air
-Janet Wallace, Managing Director Cargo Operations & Transformations, Air Canada

It was held during the 82nd IATA Annual General Meeting & World Air Transport Summit 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
