Air Cargo 2026, the 11th Air Cargo Conference, is back in Frankfurt, Germany from 2 September 2026 to 3 September 2026, once again bringing the sector together in one place. It serves as a meeting of minds, where fresh research meets hard-won practical experience. Because it comes around every year, each edition arrives with genuine anticipation. Delivery is in the hands of Messe Frankfurt, a name the sector associates with well-run events. Messe Frankfurt provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme.

Frankfurt is more than just a backdrop for Air Cargo 2026 — it is part of the experience. The city is well practised at welcoming international visitors and large-scale gatherings. Good airport access and reliable local transit make the journey to Frankfurt a low-stress one. Lodging is easy to sort in Frankfurt, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour. When the badge comes off, Frankfurt keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. Coming from further afield, you will find Frankfurt a convenient entry point to Germany and the wider region.

Sessions span Air Cargo, Air Freight, Air Logistics, Logistics, Supply Chain and Logistics & Supply Chain, balancing big-picture vision with actionable, on-the-ground know-how. Roundtables, masterclasses and Q&A sessions round out the experience. Meeting the right people is half the point, and the schedule is built to make that happen. The line-up features Frank Bauer (Lufthansa Cargo AG), Vishal Bhatnagar (Delta Air Lines) and Susanne Klingler-Werner (UPS Supply Chain Solutions Europe), alongside others.

Whether you come to learn, to present or to connect, the return on your time is hard to beat. Air Cargo 2026 has become a dependable highlight for established names and rising talent, and this edition looks no different.

A little planning goes a long way here: map out the sessions or stands you cannot miss before you arrive.
