Air Cargo Week exclusive interview with ABI.

Founded by Lewis King, managing director of Albion Aviation Group, who has over 10 years of aviation industry experience including working for two major chartering companies, ABI provides training for both the passenger and cargo brokers.

King tells Air Cargo Week that the group spotted the gap in the market as no one was providing cargo charter broker training, and that ABI’s training is designed to establish benchmarks underpinned by ethical and compliant business practices.

He says: “The absence of proper regulation in the cargo charter market has allowed for unfair competition from companies and individuals who conduct their business without regard for what is in the best interest of the customer or the operator. At ABI we want to change this and establish a new industry standard in cargo charter brokerage.”

King comments: “It has been refreshing to see that people are willing to invest in professional training for aircraft charter brokerage.”

ABI offers both in-house training and webinars, and King says: “Webinars are proving to be very popular with interest from companies in Europe, Middle East and even as far as Asia. Webinars provide the most cost-effective way of training.”

He says: “One day ABI would also like to pioneer establishing regulation in industry to help raise the barriers of entry of becoming a charter broker, as at the moment there is no regulation or barriers of entry.”
