    "Si les armements veulent rester compétitifs au 21e siècle, ils devront se diversifier de cette fonction qui consiste à être fournisseurs de transport de commodités et s'engager dans le management de la chaîne d'alimentation. Ce dernier aspect sera la règle du jeu".

Lors d'une présentation à Bruxelles dans le cadre de la Brussels Travel Fair, le nouveau directeur Alain Berquez a annoncé une intensification des relations avec la Belgique, qui représente déjà environ un cinquième des passagers.
