Supporting the air cargo business
IATA has been encouraged by its member airlines and European regulators to support air carriers in complying with ACC3 EU Security Validation process. To respond to this demand, IATA Training and Development Institute created a Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) to train, guide and support industry stakeholders.
