"Difficult beginning of year but in second half business will get better"

Ingo Zimmer, CEO, ATC Aviation talks to Libin Chacko Kurian of STAT Media Group during the recently concluded air cargo Africa 2023 held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

As he leads one of the leading air cargo GSSA businesses, he takes us through how macroeconomic factors are affecting the business in general and specifically mentions the absence of the usual peak season at the end of last year, capacity coming back to the market creating an overcapacity scenario which is also due to the fall in demand.
