The EU CBEC Forum is scheduled to take place in Liège from September 8-10, 2026. This event will bring together prominent figures from the air cargo sector for a three-day program focused on networking and strategic discussions. A key highlight will be a senior industry panel addressing critical topics such as the growth of e-commerce, the availability of freighter capacity, shifts in global trade lanes, and future fleet strategies. The forum will also examine the specific role of Liège in the broader European air cargo landscape.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this event signifies an opportunity to gain insights into future trends and potential impacts on airfreight operations. Discussions around freighter capacity and changing trade lanes could indicate upcoming shifts in available space and routing options, influencing lead times and pricing. The focus on e-commerce underscores its continued importance, suggesting sustained demand for expedited air cargo services. Understanding these dynamics from carrier executives can help forwarders anticipate market changes and adjust their strategies for procurement and client advising.
