1 IATA s Initiatives To help the Air Cargo Industry in a Fragile Economic Context 1 International Air Transport Association 2013

2 Economic Outlook 2 International Air Transport Association 2013

3 Economic Outlook In Latin America: Air Freight growth is over 3% in Latin America even if it suffered an important drop compared to the previous month 3 International Air Transport Association 2013

4 Economic Outlook The Americas (excl. USA): Comparison Settled Amounts 2013 Vs trend is similar to 2012 in the Region Source CASS 4 International Air Transport Association 2013

5 Economic Outlook In the World: The evolution of the Air Shipments has been moderately positive during the last 2 years 5 International Air Transport Association 2013

6 Economic Outlook Uptick in export orders at the start of Q3 Positive signal for both Trade Growth and Air Freight demand in months to come. Globally, IATA expects a moderate growth 6 International Air Transport Association 2013

7 IATA s Objectives 7 International Air Transport Association 2013

8 IATA s Objective Make the Air Freight More Competitive Cost Reductions Modernize the Processes Promote the Airfreight 8 International Air Transport Association 2013

9 Costs Reduction 9 International Air Transport Association 2013

10 Costs Reduction Advocacy: We challenge unreasonable rules and charges Help to lower your charges and to do business smoothly Training, key to success: Our ITDI training Center delivers up-to-date Cargo Trainings and Diplomas, some of them in co-operation with the Harvard University Improve your Cost Control, your Strategic Decisions and Processes 10 International Air Transport Association 2013

11 Costs Reduction Secure Freight: From costly Security Controls to a Trustable and Recognized Secured Supply Chain Our aim: Help Countries to develop a National Security Plan meeting the OACI s requirements Involve Airport Authorities, Airlines, Ground Handlers, Cargo Agents, Shippers, Civil Aviation, the Police, the Customs Authorities Obtain the Recognition of Secure Freight by existing National Security Programs in the World Expected Benefits: Reduce Time Loss and Security Costs while establishing irreproachable Security processes. 11 International Air Transport Association 2013

12 Costs Reduction ACC3: For Security purposes, as from July 1 st 2014, the European Union says that: Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport have to be ACC3 validated by an Independent Validator. Others Actors than Carriers wishing to Secure the Freight can apply for an Audit of their Operations by an Independent Validator. IATA developed the CEIV, first Independent Validators Training Center to be Approved by the European Union. The list of the Independent Validators is available here. 12 International Air Transport Association 2013

13 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry 13 International Air Transport Association 2013

14 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry Our life in International Air Transport Association 2013

15 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry Some other interesting Examples Would your children be able to identify this Air Ticket? 15 International Air Transport Association 2013

16 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry IATA works with and for you! E-Freight E-Air Waybill 16 International Air Transport Association 2013

17 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry e-freight vision Building and implementing an end-to-end paperless transportation process for the air cargo industry where paper documents are replaced with the exchange of electronic data 17 International Air Transport Association 2013

18 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry Shipper Origin Freight Forwarder 1. Invoice 2. Packing List 3. Certificate of Origin 4. Letter of Instruction 5. Dangerous Goods Dec. 6. CITES Certificate* e-freight scope Export Customs Ground Handler 7. Air Waybill 8. House Waybill 9. House Manifest 10. Export Goods Declaration 11. Customs Release Export 12.

19 Modernize the Air Cargo Industry E-AWB 1 st step towards the e-freight An Industry initiative: Standards developed with and endorsed by Airlines (IATA), Cargo Agents (FIATA), Customs Authorities (WCO) Working sessions organized by IATA take place in several countries to implement the e-awb with key players from the Supply Chain, in direct contact with the local Authorities. The adoption of the e-awb brings benefits to Everybody 19 International Air Transport Association 2013

20 Benefits of e-awb (Case study with an airline) Airlines Increase productivity Eliminate operational tasks Eliminate double keyboarding and reduce number of manual errors Eliminate risk of losing documents Process shipments faster Increase quality of information Reuse customer data in an automated way Improve data accuracy, integrity, validity, consistency, criticality and information completeness Reduce costs Respond faster to regulator bodies Reduce storage costs by eliminating paper documents and free up office space Reduce cycle time Perform pre-clearance to the customs Submit data with better quality to customs Contribute to the advanced reporting requirements Improve customer service Provide an improved & efficient service to the freight forwarder by simplifying their paper handling work and reducing their downtimes Pro-actively alert freight forwarder on document issues to let them adjust quickly and ensure loading of cargo as scheduled 20 International Air Transport Association 2013

21 Benefits of e-awb (Case study with a freight forwarder) Freight Forwarders Increase productivity Eliminate operational tasks and risk of losing documents Save time by not waiting and queuing anymore at acceptance carrier s counters Save time in correcting mistakes Streamline process: remove paper process on top of current electronic data exchange Improve customer service Eliminate the management of discrepancies due to missing documents Handle urgent shipments with ease Provide immediate answer to customer via digital data access Facilitate customs clearance and speed up goods delivery Reduce costs Reduce storage costs by eliminating paper documents and free up valuable office space Eliminate costs of paper destruction and recycling in e- freight environment Eliminate need to purchase neutral AWB Reduce printing costs Increase quality of information Improve data accuracy, integrity, validity, consistency, criticality and information completeness Use of electronic data instead of paper that can be lost 21 International Air Transport Association 2013

22 Benefits of e-awb Customs Increase productivity Capability to automate processing Capability to access data prior to the arrival of physical shipment, contributing to the advanced reporting requirements Reduce need to key in data Increase quality of information Reuse custom data in an automated way Improve data accuracy, integrity, validity, consistency, criticality and information completeness Enable data sharing with other government agencies Reduce costs Reduce storage costs by eliminating paper documents and free up office space Reduce manpower costs related to handling paper and keying of information Increase level of security Capability to detect automatically inconsistency between documents Capability to automatically capture security related data 22 International Air Transport Association 2013

23 Some of the Carriers implementing the e-awb 23 International Air Transport Association 2013

24 Your next steps to stay competitive: Be legally prepared to issue e-awbs Sign the Multilateral Agreement Ensure IT readiness Contact IT Providers Contact some Airlines to make a Pilot Activate the Multilateral Ensure Correct Data Quality Decide when you stop issuing paper AWBs and start taking benefits of a new way of doing business! 24 International Air Transport Association 2013

25 The Multilateral e-awb agreement MULTILATERAL AGREEMENT Multilateral agreement (Resolution 672) Free of Charge Signed once with IATA Legally allows you to issue e-awb Conditions of Carriage Unchanged Endorsed by FITAC and most of the Freight Forwarders Associations., including FIATA Does not oblige you to issue all your AWBs electronically 25 International Air Transport Association 2013

26 IT Solutions Freight Forwarders with e-awb capable in-house IT system: Connect the system to the Airline s one to send and receive FWB messages (format Cargo-IMP or new Cargo-XML to the Airlines) Freight Forwarders without e-awb capable in-house IT system: Use Web Portals developed by the Airlines, CCS, local FF Association Or, alternatively, Contact the IATA strategic Partners or any other providers, who propose ready-to-deploy solutions 26 International Air Transport Association 2013
