IATA Accreditation for Member

IATA attended our 2008 Annual Meeting in Mexico and gave a presentation on their eFreight system (read more).
 
I have since been in touch with Ajay Pande, Cargo Agency Policy Manager regarding IATA accreditation for Cargo Agents.
 
Any person involved in international airfreight and complying with appropriate licence and legal requirements may apply for registration as an IATA Cargo Agent. 

 

Affording benefits to both airlines and agents, IATA accreditation provides agents with industry recognition of their financial and professional competence and airlines with a worldwide distribution network of approved agents to sell their product.
 
The relationship between Member airlines and their registered Cargo Agents is administered under a set of IATA Resolutions. These Government-approved rules establish the rights and obligations of the parties, as well as the procedures and requirements for agents who wish to obtain and to maintain industry accreditation, thus becoming part of the airlines global cargo distribution network.

 

The annual fee for IATA membership is approximately USD 230.
 
If you are thinking of going through the IATA accreditation process, we have made an arrangement with Ajay who will work with the IATA accreditation offices in each region (MIA, SIN, GVA and MAD) to ensure that applications from UFO Members are given priority and are speedily handled.
