The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has announced the appointment of Fowler Wang as its newest team member, serving as regional representative China, to further strengthen the association’s presence and engagement in this critical market.

With over 20 years of experience in air cargo, logistics, sales management, and event leadership, Wang has been at the forefront of China’s air cargo industry. As founder and chief executive of Summit Asia Events, he built the China Cargo Summit into the nation’s most successful air cargo conference, widely recognised as a premier platform for global leaders to exchange insights, showcase innovation, and build strategic partnerships.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Wang leveraged his extensive industry network to lead the operation of over 1,000 international cargo charter flights across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. His expertise spans the end-to-end setup of small to mid-sized cargo airlines, air rights applications, airport coordination, and freight forwarding operations, giving him unique insight into the dynamics of the air cargo sector.

Wang’s earlier career included senior sales leadership in aviation self-service solutions at NCR, where he drove China’s market share beyond 60%, and technology leadership at a Fortune 500 US sourcing company.

Steven Polmans, TIACA chair, said: “China is a cornerstone of global air cargo, and TIACA’s presence there is essential. Fowler’s remarkable track record in building platforms that connect people and ideas, combined with his hands-on industry experience, makes him the ideal representative to expand TIACA’s impact and support our members in China.”

Fowler will represent TIACA across China, supporting the association’s mission to unite the global air cargo community, promote innovation, and advocate for the interests of the industry.

Glyn Hughes, TIACA director general, said about Wang: “His deep knowledge of the Chinese air cargo market, coupled with his extensive international network and proven leadership, will greatly enhance TIACA’s ability to serve our members, foster industry collaboration, and strengthen engagement with key stakeholders in this vital region.”
