IATA has insisted that its new eAWB product for smaller forwarders is simply filling a gap in the e-freight market and not competing. But IT suppliers say what is “urgently needed” is awareness, not more products.

October 20, 2015 at 3:41 amI think this is a positive move from IATA but clearly it is nowhere near enough!We still have too many Airlines who have not adopted the Single Process and are below 10% E-AWB penetration. How can this be possible after so many years? Why is EU the worst performing continent on this? Legacy systems maybe? let’s hope that 2016 is a better year for this than 2015 has been.

October 21, 2015 at 3:41 pmLet’s set the record straight. eAWB capabilities are just a fraction of the benefit of the overall IATA e-Freight initiative. The real benefits come by eliminating all paper processes from air cargo shipments. That’s where most of the $4.9B savings lie, that’s where we can cut days off the shipping process and do it all with dramatically enhanced security. It is imperative that IATA not introduce a system that will channel users into another dead end that can’t easily support a true paperless solution. We have enough dead end systems now, and don’t need any more.
