TIACA Executive Summit 2026 in Warsaw spotlights air cargo growth in Central and Eastern Europe

TIACA’s Executive Summit 2026 closed in Warsaw on 3 June after drawing more than 320 air cargo leaders, senior executives, innovators and supply chain stakeholders.

Hosted by LOT Polish Airlines and Port Polska, the summit put leadership, market intelligence, sustainability, innovation, digitalisation and regional growth at the centre of the agenda. Warsaw gave the sector a clear platform to examine air cargo expansion in Central and Eastern Europe, where operators are balancing demand growth with pressure to modernise networks, data use and service resilience.

The meeting also reflected a broader industry need: decision-makers are now focused less on long-range strategy than on execution across capacity, digitised processes and sustainability targets. That makes the Warsaw discussions a useful read on the sector’s near-term direction.
