The Airforwarders Association (AfA) has welcomed the launch of the Miami Air Cargo Association (MACA) and has pledged to work with it to help the air cargo community tackle challenges, including truck congestion, infrastructure efficiency, and operational resilience.
AfA executive director, Brandon Fried (pictured, third from left), said: “The Miami Air Cargo Association provides an important new platform for collaboration at one of the United States’ busiest cargo gateways. Working together, we will press for solutions to tackle truck congestion and stand up for the day-to-day operational needs of freight forwarders.”
The MACA has been established as a 501-C non-profit organization with full bylaws and an appointed board. Its president and director, Warren Jones (left), said: “The creation of the Miami Air Cargo Association gives our local industry a focused platform to connect, collaborate, and give back.
“We appreciate the Airforwarders Association’s willingness to partner with us on issues that directly affect day to day operations at Miami International Airport, and look forward to working with them.”
The MACA plans a program of five industry lunches in 2026, alongside a fall golf outing, a year-end holiday event, charitable initiatives, and the development of a scholarship program for members.
