United flies to the rescue of marooned critical Marshall Islands cargo
United Airlines has come to the rescue of stranded vital cargo in the Marshall Islands ...
The air cargo lithium battery debate rumbles on: to fly them on passenger aircraft or not? The latest round has been fired by manufacturers, including the noisy PRBA, which unsurprisingly wants the current status quo to be maintained. In a letter to two chairmen at the House of Representatives, they argue that shippers would otherwise be confused. It also notes – backing IATA’s argument – that there should be tough enforcement of the rules on handling and shipping of lithium batteries. It uses the crowd-pleasing argument that ‘vitally important’ medical devices could be affected. Whether the FAA, which is known to be supportive of a ban on shipments in passenger aircraft, will be convinced remains to be seen.
