ELITE Association of Logistics Networks officially launched today, following the qualification of nine major global logistics networks as founding members, to act as a body to represent the independent freight forwarding community and set industry standards.
Combined membership of ELITE-qualified networks comprises more than 3,550 freight forwarding companies around the world.
Des Vertannes, the International Air Transport Association’s head of global cargo, welcomed the formation of ELITE. “The size and quality of the networks within ELITE ensures that their views will be heard and taken seriously by associations, regulators and carriers,” he added.
