Guest Speaker<br />
FIG Admin are working with Etihad<br />
Cargo to produce a ‘rebate scheme’<br />
based on any increased traffic<br />
through this carrier.<br />
We will be in touch shortly to check<br />
your IATA details and offer a brief<br />
outline of this exciting incentive.<br />
Full details will be announced at our<br />
Bali <strong>Conference</strong>...<br />
If successful, we will consider further co-operation with forward thinking carriers<br />
to bring additional benefits to our FIG Partners.<br />
We would welcome approaches from any FIG Partners acting as agents for major<br />
carriers where we can receive incentives by leveraging our cargo volumes.<br />
13.<br />
Established in 2004, Etihad Cargo is the fast<br />
growing cargo division of Etihad Airways.<br />
From its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport,<br />
Etihad Cargo offers its customers a<br />
range of cargo services linked to its expanding<br />
international route network and aircraft<br />
fleet.<br />

Message from CEO<br />
Welcome to our conference newsletter!<br />
I am looking forward to meeting our FIG Partners ‘old and new’ in the<br />
stunning venue secured with assistance from our hosts - FIG Indonesia<br />
Mrs Vanessa Lin…<br />
During our last conference in Dubai (2015) we explained that FIG Admin<br />
are keen to grow our group, not just by global footprint or by<br />
numbers but also in the quality and responsiveness of our global FIG<br />
‘family’. We made a commitment that we would be ‘removing deadwood’<br />
to assist in future stronger growth of our organisation.<br />
This is the reason that we have been seeking early commitment to this<br />
years conference. Those members that have not attended for some<br />
years (especially ‘key’ countries) and those demonstrating poor communication<br />
are currently being removed from our listings. We hope to<br />
replace some (or all) of these FIG Partners very soon with stronger and<br />
more reliable agents who are prepared to work closely with our members<br />
around the world for mutual benefit.<br />
We would urge all FIG Partners to support any new members and must<br />
remind you all that we cannot get involved in ‘issues’ relating to members<br />
who continue to deal with previous FIG Partners.<br />
Rest assured that this action will prepare FIG for the next exciting phase<br />
of our journey as we move towards becoming a multi-national branded<br />
forwarder organisation rather than just a freight network.<br />
See you all in Bali!<br />
