The pledging is already well underway this week at The International Air Cargo Association\u2019s (TIACA) 28th Air Cargo Forum (ACF) in Paris.
\nThe inaugural day saw the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the World Customs Organization (WCO) join TIACA in a pledge to \u201cwork towards a paperless environment to ensure the industry maintains and develops its competitiveness, especially in expanding e-commerce markets.\u201d A second deal was reached between the Global Shippers\u2019 Forum (GSF) and Cargo iQ to implement Cargo iQ\u2019s Quality Management System (QMS) and \u201cpromote the sustainability of the air cargo supply chain.\u201d
\nBoth agreements have a distinctly technological bent and mirror a sector-wide push to integrate technology and visibility in the airfreight business. And with forwarders posting the sort of numbers that suggest a return to the black in the latest fiscal quarter, collectively raising the bar is a strong incentive towards visibility for actors that tend to keep their data close to the chest.
\n\u201cWe are living in a period of great transition for our industry, and collaboration among all members of the air cargo community has never been more important,\u201d said Doug Brittin, Secretary General of TIACA. He stressed that the industry needed to cooperate to ensure that new legislation does not impact air cargo flows and that cargo delays, restrictions on the transport of lithium batteries, and the impact of \u201cbig data\u201d all require a cooperative approach.
\nICAO and TIACA will release a joint communique following the forum, outlining a series of initiatives aimed at improving the industry that the organizations will both promote.
\nThe GSF-Cargo iQ MOU outlines areas where the groups will cooperate, and explores methods for the industry and shippers to improve communication. The MOU addresses the following points:<\/p>\n
Implementation, and use of Cargo iQ standards and processes, improving efficiency and on-time delivery.
\nSharing information and best practices aimed at improvement of the air cargo supply chain.
\nDisseminating performance data of the air cargo supply chain to customers.
\nSharing details of forthcoming events where progress can be reviewed, \u201caiming at the industry engagement in its shipment control and process improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n
