IATA Calls for Implementation of Secure Air Freight Principles

The International Air Transport Association, which represents about 240 airlines, has identified four priorities to make air cargo more secure and has urged stakeholders to implement Secure Freight principles.

“Governments and industry share the goal of keeping air cargo secure,” said Tony Tyler, IATA’s director general and CEO, at the Secure Freight Forum held at IATA’s offices in Geneva. “That is the common ground for closer cooperation, harmonization of regulations, global capacity building and the long-term commitment that is needed.”
