Follow the latest air transport rules, regulations and best practices

In 2023 changes to the air cargo and ground operations procedures will come into effect and everyone involved in the air transport supply chain needs to learn what these changes entail. There are 350 changes that will take effect and a few of the key ones include: 

  • New details on the EU-ICS2 and UAE Pre-loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI) programs 
  • Important changes to the IATA Standard Ground Handling Agreement 
  • Introduction of new “special provisions” for the air transport of dangerous goods as well as amendments to the existing ones 
  • Updates to simplify the ramp process for ground operations 
  • Amendments to the General Container Requirements for the air shipment of Aquatics (water species) 
  • Inclusion of freshwater products to the type of perishables transported by air 
  • Revisions to the ULD Operational Damage Limits Notice (ODLN) 

The essential source for outlining these changes are the IATA manuals. The IATA manuals are updated yearly to keep you up-to-date and compliant with the latest regulatory and industry changes.   

With 94% of IATA manual users stating that the standards contained therein helped their business, they have also demonstrated that the benefits of using them go beyond complying with international air cargo regulations and ground operations procedures and they are a great tool to keep refining and improving business operations and strategy.  
 
From reducing errors to avoiding shipment delays or aircraft damage, they have served as essential tools to a variety of companies. They offer industry standardized processes and best practices that meet and often surpass airline and government regulations. In day-to-day operations, whenever there is a doubt if the correct label or marking is being used or when there is no regulation in place for a specific cargo or ground handling task, the IATA manuals become the primary source of information for users.
