Nigel Tomkins is quite possibly the world’s foremost airfreight journalist. Previously the founder and launch editor of Air Cargo News, Nigel has been writing about global air cargo matters for more than 35 years. Prior to that he wrote for UK national newspapers and broadcasters. His knowledge of global air cargo affairs is unparalleled, a status which has led to him acting as editor, author, commentator, analyst and events moderator. To make up for a poor singing voice, he plays guitar and the piano. Not afraid to tackle controversial issues, among Nigel’s pet hates are fake news, ill-researched PR-generated press releases and the use of jargon.
