“Now it is time to scale up initiatives and implement projects and plans aimed at further enhancing the quality of the supply chain.
“I think that Cargo iQ is on the right track with this as it has been nurturing an innovative spirit since the first day of its work.”

“Both AirBridgeCargo and Hellmann have shown their commitment to Cargo iQ’s objectives and their contribution as Board members will accelerate and support our progression.”
Novikov replaces a Board seat vacated by Mark Albrecht, Director-Cargo Logistics, Compliance, Finance, United Airlines and Fritzsch replaces Markus Muecke, Managing Director, Im3pact AG who has moved from being a voting member of the Board to an advisor for the Board.
