1. Air Cargo Integrators (ACI) CEO Lionel Smith is surveying the trade show scene at the TIACA Air Cargo Forum that took place in Toronto, Canada, in mid-October 2018.
     As he looks up and down the aisle, Lionel, at six feet, seven inches tall, enjoys a unique vantage point.
     Born in Kenya and on the scene in Dubai cargo for the past several decades, Smith is a transportation executive that stands out head and shoulders above the crowd. He joins a cadre of special people we have known during our 44 years on this beat.
 
    2.  When Lionel van der Walt packed it in as President of IATA CNS a couple years ago, our industry lost a great leader, although we got lucky again right away, when Mike White stepped up. Mike has carried forward admirably as President of CNS and reports a huge annual partnership conference about to take off in Miami, May 5.
