TIACA Unveils Abu Dhabi as Host for Air Cargo Forum 2025, Miami ACF Already 70% Sold Out

The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has revealed that the Air Cargo Forum (ACF) will make its debut in the Middle East, with Abu Dhabi, UAE, set to host the event from November 4-6, 2025. This move marks a significant expansion of TIACA’s global reach, following the success of the Miami ACF.

The 2024 Miami Air Cargo Forum, scheduled for November 11-14, is already 70% sold out, with a notable increase in exhibition space to accommodate growing interest. This year’s event will feature new participants such as Avianca Cargo, Cathay Cargo, and Delta Cargo, reflecting the event’s expanding influence and appeal.

TIACA’s leadership, including Chair Steven Polmans and Director General Glyn Hughes, praised the robust industry support and the event’s growth.

Polmans emphasized the organization’s commitment to delivering a top-tier experience that combines business networking with engaging activities.

Steven Polmans, chair of the International Air Cargo Association, said: “We are happy to see all the new exhibitors that have signed up for this year’s event and we are pleased to announce that this year will be even larger than the one in 2022.

“Our team is working hard to produce an event that will not only bring the industry together for a spectacular event with plenty of networking opportunities but will also align with our core values.

“The growth of the event this year shows that our brand is as strong as ever and we are committed to ensuring we provide attendees with world-class events.”

Hughes highlighted the sales team’s success in securing new exhibitors and developing flexible sponsorship packages, ensuring the ACF continues to offer valuable opportunities for all stakeholders.

Glyn Hughes, director general, added: “The sales team has done an excellent job in bringing on board new exhibitors and sponsors and has developed packages that will align with most budgets.

“We are excited to see the growth of the ACF and look forward to welcoming everyone to Miami in the next couple of months but remember to bring flip flops as well as business and golf shoes.”

With Abu Dhabi poised to host the ACF 2025, TIACA is set to enhance its global presence and continue its tradition of bringing the air cargo community together for impactful and innovative events.
