Cargo IQ joins forces with FIATA and ASA to drive global standards across all sectors in air cargo

The three global associations will work together to strengthen collaboration between forwarders, handlers, and airlines, to drive unified high standard

"This initiative from Cargo iQ to offer FIATA and ASA an observer seat at their Board is spot on," said Fabio Gamba, Director General, ASA.

"The cargo value chain is a very complex one, and only a truly holistic approach, involving all the major stakeholders, will work.

"We at ASA are delighted to join, all the more so as the importance of cargo, already central in the operations of handling agents, has demonstrated during the pandemic how crucial to the world a seamless and well-performing cargo platform is.

"Together we'll endeavour to keep it that way."

Cargo iQ continues to welcome members big and small from across the air cargo industry to its community and is actively encouraging national and regional airlines and handlers to join existing members in the pursuit of a more standardised supply chain.
