Bengaluru: Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has been rated as an e-freight compliant airport by IATA for its cargo operations. The e-freight concept was launched by International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2006 as part of the StB (simplifying the business) programme and became an industry-wide initiative.
“This is indeed a definite step forward in modernising air cargo shipment and an example for other airports in India and around the world,” said Glen Hughes, Global Head Cargo, IATA. Facilitated by IATA alo- ng with the endorsement of the members of the Global Air Cargo Advisory Group, the project is an industry-wide initiative.
