MIA hosts e-AWB workshop to digitise local cargo industry
IN an effort to make air cargo logistics paperless, Miami International Airport has hosted its first electronic air waybill (e-AWB) workshop that was attended by 180 local cargo shippers and airline representatives.
Through a partnership with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), MIA became one of the first six US cargo hub airports this year to launch the e-AWB 360 campaign that is designed to replace manual data entry with an efficient and reliable digital system, and pave the way towards a completely e-freight cargo industry locally, reported Mumbai's Stat Trade Times.
At the workshop, representatives from the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, IATA's Cargo Network Services, American Airlines, the Florida Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association, the Transportation Security Administration and Panalpina discussed the benefits of digitising the air waybill.
"In addition to leading the country in global freight shipments and perishable imports, we want to lead the way in transport innovation as well," said Miami-Dade aviation director Emilio Gonzalez. "Launching the e-AWB campaign is the latest way that we are modernising our cargo operations and simplifying the process for our business partners."
MIA is joined by 16 airlines - all of which serve MIA, minus one - that have committed to participating in the e-AWB 360 campaign and are urging their shipping customers to do the same.
