Air cargo: it's time to shape up and shatter those glass ceilings

It’s International Women’s Day, which brings to mind a conversation I had at Air Cargo Africa with a senior industry executive, one in a position of power – but one I had thought was pretty progressive and democratic.

He said he would only pick people who were “right for the job”, regardless of gender.

Fair enough, you might think. That’s what’s best for the industry, surely? The right people?

Of course. But how odd that all the “right people” seem to be men.

Without wishing ...
