Emir Pineda, Trade & Logistics Manager for the Marketing Division of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, which operates Miami International airport, has been elected to the Board of The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA).
“It is an honour to have been selected to be a member of the Board of TIACA, the only organization that truly represents the entire cargo supply chain,” said Pineda.
“For my tenure I would like to continue to pivot the association towards innovation, thus adding value to our members and the entire global logistics industry.
“In addition, I hope to attract greater focus and participation from Latin America, which has historically been under represented in the association.”
The appointment is all the more beneficial for Miami’s position as a cargo hub in the Americas region, with MIA recognised as the world’s largest gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, handling 83% of all air imports and 79% of all exports to/from the region.
