The Airforwarders Association (AfA) has welcomed the launch of the Miami Air Cargo Association (MACA) and confirmed its commitment to work with the new organisation to support the air cargo community at Miami International Airport.
Brandon Fried, Executive Director of the AfA, addressed the MACA at its launch and pledged collaboration on practical challenges, including truck congestion, infrastructure efficiency, and operational resilience.
Brandon Fried, Executive Director, Airforwarders Association, 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 organisation with full bylaws and an appointed Board of Directors, and aims to strengthen engagement across the local cargo community.
Warren Jones, President and Director, Miami Air Cargo Association, 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.
