The panel will address streamlining cargo operations, exploring the costs and risks associated with an airport cargo community system (CCS), airport digitalization and best practices for involving more airport stakeholders in a CCS. 

“Our leadership in [environmental, social and corporate governance] means at YEG everything we do is guided by our commitment to create meaningful partnerships that protect our airport, manage our environment, grow our region and connect our community to the world,” Lowe told Air Cargo Next. 

“This includes supporting economic opportunities, creating jobs, focusing on innovation, as well as creating awareness and driving action on environmental, social and governance initiatives that add value to our airport and the Edmonton region,” he said. 

Lowe has more than two decades of experience in aviation, much of which has been in the cargo sector. He joined YEG as manager of cargo business development and manager of global network development before taking on his current role in July. 

Before joining YEG in 2012, Lowe worked at Canada’s Cargojet.
