President’s Message

Dear Members,
Selamat Datang…Welcome to Malaysia.

After a successful Convention in 2022 at Bangkok, once again it gives me a great pleasure to invite you to another overseas destination… Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia.

This year the 47th Annual Convention of ACAAI will be held at Hotel Westin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 23rd to 26th November 2023. The Theme of the Convention this year is “AI The Game Changer – Embracing the Intelligent Future”.

This will be the second time that ACAAI shall be holding its Convention at Kuala Lumpur, which is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in Southeast Asia, both in population and economic development. Presently, India and Malaysia have developed close political, economic and socio-cultural relations and there is a considerable goodwill for India in Malaysia.

The stunning capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, abounds with architectural marvels, numerous landmarks, including Petronas Twin Towers, flea market, Batu Caves, which is over 400 million years old. The city, defined by its colorful culture and rich natural reserves, is a famous tourist attraction.

“Malaysia, Truly Asia” captures and defines the essence of the country’s unique diversity. It sums up the distinctiveness and allure of Malaysia that makes it an exceptional tourist destination. There is only one place where all the colours, flavours, sounds and sights of Asia come together – Malaysia.

All members are requested to register in large numbers to be a part of this phenomenal event and experience the zest of this Convention. Online registrations will soon open on our website www.acaai.in

I look forward to welcoming you in Kuala Lumpur for Convention 2023.

With Best Regards,

Afzal Malbarwala
President
The Air Cargo Agents Association of India (ACAAI)

Message From Convention Chariman

Dear Members,
Selamat Kembali… Welcome back… once again to the gleaming city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Let us meet and greet at another overseas destination for the 47th Annual Convention of ACAAI to be held at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was in 2004 that we had explored this city of Kuala Lumpur as our Convention venue.

Kuala Lumpur is a city where ancient traditions blend harmoniously with modern marvels. Just as the Petronas Twin Towers stand tall and unite the city’s skyline, we too unite here to share ideas, forge new connections and shape a brighter future for our businesses.

This year the Convention will be held at Hotel Westin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 23rd to 26th November 2023. The Theme of the Convention is “AI The Game Changer – Embracing the Intelligent Future”.

Kuala Lumpur (KL) as it is better known is simply Petrona-stic ! The Batu-tiful Caves: is a hidden gem in Kuala Lumpur. It is said that you can’t buy happiness here, but you can buy Nasi Lemak in KL. A KLassicday with food, fun and skycrapers will make your heartsKL-ing to this city, which is the heart of Malaysia.

Once again, I would like to request all members to register in large numbers and let us seize this opportunity to foster lasting partnerships and friendships that will extend far beyond the conference walls. Together we shall embark on a remarkable journey of discovery, collaboration and growth.

May this convention be a resounding success, leaving an indelible mark on our businesses.

Kindly register for this exiting experience on our website www.acaai.in which will soon open.

With Best Regards,

Anil Vazirani
Chairman, Convention 2023
