Chennai: Chennai Airport is yet to comply with the European Commission’s new security standards for air cargo.
Unless it meets the standards soon, air cargo to the EU could be affected starting July 1.
Following the cargo plane explosion at Yemen in October 2010 and the risk of explosive devices being introduced into the global supply chain, the Commission had in 2012 urged air carriers flying cargo and mail into the EU from non-EU countries to ensure that certain security standards were put in place prior to loading of the aircraft.
These were to be designated ACC3 — “air cargo or mail carrier operating into the Union from a third country airport”.
