Master the Future of Air Cargo
in Asia-Pacific
Cargo Facts Asia is the region’s event for freighter fleet strategy, cargo network planning, and aircraft investment—bringing together the executives actively shaping the future of Asia-Pacific air cargo.
Taking place March 23–25 at the W Shanghai – The Bund, the event opens with a Freighter Fleet Strategy Workshop led by Cargo Facts Consulting, offering a practical, data-driven deep dive into today’s freighter market and operational decision-making. The workshop sets the stage for three days of focused discussion on capacity, conversions, engines, and the structural shifts redefining global air cargo.
Across the main conference program, senior leaders from airlines, lessors, OEMs, MROs, and service providers will examine the Asia-Pacific freighter market from every angle. Sessions address shifting cargo demand away from North America toward Europe and Central Asia, the implications of evolving trade regulations on trans-Pacific flows, and the rapid expansion of e-commerce hubs both within and beyond China. Executives from Hong Kong Air Cargo, FedEx China, SF Airlines, MJets Air, Tianjin Air Cargo, and IndiGo will share frontline perspectives on fleet deployment, narrowbody and widebody strategy, and regional growth.
The agenda also tackles the operational and technical constraints shaping fleet decisions, including engine availability and its impact on conversion programs, MRO capacity limitations, and strategies for extending asset life amid feedstock shortages. Dedicated sessions explore the accelerating role of narrowbody freighters, the outlook for next-generation widebody aircraft, and the economic realities of new-build versus converted freighters in Asia.
A featured fireside chat with Jason Thomas, CEO of MAB Kargo, provides a candid discussion on global trade, freighter fleet trends, and the Asia-Pacific outlook, while valuation experts from Ascend by Cirium and Alton Aviation close the program with insights into freighter and feedstock values, lease rates, and engine pricing.
Beyond the content, Cargo Facts Asia is designed to deliver meaningful, deal-driven networking. Attendees connect through curated receptions, hosted breaks, and an enhanced mobile app that facilitates on-site meetings. In 2025, 79% of sponsors made six or more new connections, and airline attendance rose sharply—reinforcing the event’s reputation as the region’s most effective platform for building partnerships and advancing strategy.
