Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Airport Industry Review magazine

The Red Sea region is a key shipping route, and the recent conflict in the region has led to major shipping companies shifting their routes – causing a knock-on effect on the wider freight ecosystem. In our cover story this issue, we explore how air cargo has been impacted by the new landscape.

Elsewhere, we explore how Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is looking ahead with a new 25-year plan to boost its sustainability credentials and lower the environmental impact of its operations.

As well as this, we look into the impact of recent political events in the UK and US on civil aviation. What does the return of President-elect Donald Trump mean for the industry, and how will the new UK Budget impact aviation across the pond?

For this, and much more, read on. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @Airport_Mag as well.
