We’re thrilled to share an exciting milestone for one of our own. Jan Krems, President of United Cargo, has officially been inducted into the TIACA Hall of Fame—one of the highest honors in the global air cargo world!

Jan’s induction on June 26, 2025, marks a proud moment not just for him, but for all of us. With nearly 40 years of industry experience, Jan has been a driving force behind innovation, growth, and resilience—not just at United, but across the entire cargo landscape.

TIACA Hall of Famers are exclusively selected for accomplishing the following:

• Making a global or regional impact
• Leading with bold ideas and innovation
• Inspiring with outstanding leadership
• Championing industry growth and workforce development
• Influencing regulations and support global communities

Jan has done all that—and then some.

“Jan has always led with heart, integrity, and vision. His Hall of Fame induction is more than an individual honor—it’s a celebration of an incredible journey and the people who helped shape it,” said TIACA’s Glyn Hughes.

From overseeing United’s transformation into the largest U.S. combination carrier by volume to leading over 17,000 cargo-only flights during the pandemic, Jan’s leadership helped keep global supply chains moving—and raised the bar for the entire industry.

Every milestone reached under Jan’s leadership has been made possible by the strength, collaboration, and can-do spirit of the United Cargo team. Here’s to Jan, and to many more years of his and the United Cargo team’s success!
