7 - The Unseen World of International Air Cargo

NATS Altitude

Altitude is a monthly podcast from NATS.
From delivering fresh Norwegian crab to South Korea through to supporting the worldwide vaccine roll out, every year millions of tonnes of freight is flown in our skies in what is 24 hour a day choreography of logistics, just in time planning and human ingenuity. Join us for this episode of Altitude alongside DHL’s Chief Pilot, Richard Brew and Head of Cargo at Manchester Airport Group, Stephen Harvey, for an exploration of the incredible journey that begins when you click ‘buy now’.
We chatted about exactly what it takes to ensure your Scottish salmon is as fresh as the moment it was caught, the impact of Covid on global demand, how to safely relocate the world’s loneliest elephant… and what the future holds for this vital but often unseen part of the aviation industry.
