Event organiser Messe Munchen has taken the decision to cancel the Air Cargo China event due to take place in Shanghai on June 16-18.

In a statement, the organiser said: "The health of our customers, guests, colleagues and employees is our top priority.

"It is with a heavy heart that we have decided, in consultation with our partners and associations, to cancel air cargo China 2020, which was scheduled for 16-18 June."

Instead, Messe Munchen Shanghai will run a transport logistic China Forum for the domestic market with a focus on fresh logistics and cold chain solutions.

"Should this exhibition and a participation in Shanghai still be of interest, possibly with a local team, we are very pleased to be able to offer you a suitable stand here," the organiser said.

The next Air Cargo China will now take place in Shanghai in 2022.
