Airforwarders Association to address new security compliance issues
THE big question facing freight forwarders today is how to prepare their businesses to submit information before departure in meeting Air Cargo Advanced Screening (ACAS) data obligations.
The Airforwarders Association (AfA) will look for answers in Los Angeles - America's biggest air cargo centre - this week. Joining them, is the Los Angeles Air Cargo Association, Delta Cargo, American Airlines Cargo and Sterling Transportation.
Targeting potentially dangerous air cargo is the focus and reason behind Pre-loading Advanced Cargo Information, or PLACI, reports Logistics Management Review magazine of Framington, Massachusetts.
Indeed, a proposed initiative called Progressive Filing could put freight forwarders in the position of preparing and submitting outbound air manifests directly to the government.
Some of the questions such conditions imply are: Does this mean additional regulation? Bonding requirements? An investment in new technology to do the work?
To discuss these issues are Brandon Fried, executive director, Airforwarders Association as moderator; Liz Merritt, cargo services director, Airlines for America; Vincent Iacopella, president, US West, Janel Group Inc and John Peery, chief operations officer and vice president, Mercury Air Cargo.
