The STAT Trade Times has been the authoritative voice of air cargo since 1986.

Many successful multi-billion-dollar companies started in humble settings, driven by innovative ideas and a problem-solving approach. This includes the founding of The STAT Trade Times in 1986, which emerged from a gap in chronicling air cargo stories. While air cargo existed, it lacked dedicated coverage. Founder R K Patra recognized the need for a platform to highlight its significance. Over 40 years, The STAT Trade Times has chronicled remarkable air cargo journeys, evolving from print to digital while maintaining its mission to inform, inspire, and connect the global cargo community.
