Companies across the air cargo supply chain and regulatory bodies can now obtain updates on the lobbying activities and views of the Global Air Cargo Advisory Group (GACAG) online following the launch of its new website – www.gacag.org
GACAG is an industry advisory group formed in November 2010 to provide the air cargo industry with a stronger, unified voice in its dealings with worldwide regulatory authorities and other bodies whose decisions directly affect air cargo. It was founded by the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (Fiata), the International Air Transport Association (Iata), the Global Shippers’ Forum (GSF), and The International Air Cargo Association (Tiaca).
The website provides information and updates of the four priority areas on which GACAG is focused: security, e-commerce, customs and trade facilitation, and the sustainability of the global air cargo industry. It also lists the focus areas for each of its four Task Forces and identifies the members of each group.
In addition to providing proactive e-news updates for registered users, the site gives updates on regulatory issues affecting the air cargo industry.
