An in-house announcement here, and one for all those keen to get the inside scoop from an industry veteran. 

Freightweek’s October 2026 cover issue will be an exclusive sit down with airfreight guru Aydin Alpa where we chat all things supply chain. 

Boasting more than 40 years’ experience, Alpa has occupied some of the biggest c-suite roles across the logistics, handling, forwarding, aviation, GSA, and TCM sectors. But all this came from humble beginnings, starting out as a cargo/baggage ramp agent for Ogden Allied Aviation Services ground handling company at JFK International Airport while concurrently studying at university in New York. 

As one industry insider notes, “Aydin’s story is one rising from the very bottom to the very top… it is an extraordinary success story”. It is this success and expertise that Freightweek will tap into as Alpa gives his insights for what to avoid to bring long term sustainable growth.
