President’s Message
Sahwahdeeka…Greetings and once more
a cordial welcome to Thailand.
It gives me great pleasure to personally invite you to attend the 46th Annual Convention of ACAAI which will be held at Hotel Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, Thailand from 24th to 27th November 2022. It has been two years since we last met and it has been a very difficult time for all of us. Now, this is indeed a sign of resilience that we come together once again this year, to continue the tradition of our Annual Convention. Hence, very aptly the Theme of the Convention this year is “RESILIENT AIR CARGO INDUSTRY- POST PANDEMIC”. I wish that we all come together to discuss, deliberate, interact and learn as a professional community how we have and how we can continue to be resilient in this post pandemic era.
This will be the fourth ACAAI Convention to be held in Thailand, the previous ones being held in Bangkok (2005), Chiang Mai (2006) and Phuket (2019). Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, is a large city known for ornate shrines and vibrant street life. It is famous for its revered nightlife scene and carefree atmosphere. ACAAI Convention 2022 offers an astounding opportunity for all delegates to engage in business in the midst of the culturally rich and tourist delights of Bangkok.

Thailand has also been associated by Indian culture in various aspects such as religion, language, literature and food.
