Here, he shares with us about his expectations on his new appointment.

What challenges are you facing in the new role?
Luis Quintiliano (LQ): The association of the cargo units in Brazil (TAM Cargo and ABSA) has been successful. Now, the remaining challenge is to consolidate our position as market leaders in the air cargo segment by developing business solutions that allow us to offer an excellent service to our customers.

What do you expect from the Brazilian market in the future?
LQ: I firmly believe in the potential of the Brazilian market and I am hoping to see some change regarding the scenario we have witnessed in recent times, in order to be able to grow sustainably. Growth will be possible thanks to the investments we have made in infrastructure, systems and procedures. TAM Cargo has made significant investment because we believe in this transformation and hope to see results in the near future.
