Henning Dieter is the new Chairman of the Board of the Air Cargo Community

The experienced air cargo manager is familiar with a wide range of activities at Frankfurt Airport. The Board of the Air Cargo Community is starting its two-year term of office with a new Chairman. Henning Dieter, Head of Swissport Cargo Services Germany & Austria, replaces Patrik O. Tschirch, who did not stand for re-election to the board and its chairmanship at the general meeting at the end of July. Henning Dieter has worked in the logistics industry at Frankfurt Airport for decades. Before the manager took up his current position in September 2020, his professional career took him to Yusen Logistics, DHL Global Forwarding and Aviapartner. He also held various management positions at Lufthansa Cargo. He was involved in the German Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association for several years as Chairman of the Air Freight Forwarding Committee.

"Henning Dieter knows the needs of the various member groups within the community very well thanks to his background. I am convinced that he will succeed in uniting their interests. Our community can only benefit from his many years of experience in nationwide association work," says Managing Director Joachim von Winning. His special thanks go to Patrik O. Tschirch, who has been a member of the Air Cargo Community Board since its foundation: "He has played a decisive role in making our association what it is today: an indispensable network of air freight professionals who tackle challenges together and find solutions that benefit all members." This is Henning Dieter's first term of office on the Board, to which he was elected as a representative of the air cargo handlers. Dr. Tobias Riege, Managing Director of Riege Software, who represents the other service providers, was appointed as his deputy. His mandate was renewed, as was that of Susanne Klingler-Werner, Director Freight Forwarding Central Europe at UPS Supply Chain Solutions.

The manager represents the positions of the freight forwarders. Michael Hoppe, General Secretary at Barig, is also rejoining the Board. He represents the aviation companies. The six-member committee also includes Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm, Executive Board Member for Aviation and Infrastructure at Fraport, and Dietmar Focke, Executive Board Member for Operations and Human Resources at Lufthansa Cargo. They are delegated to the Executive Board of the Air Cargo Community by their respective companies.
