IATA e-freight Update

IATA e-freight - Vision and Board Mandate

IATA Board mandate for end 2010:

Establish EF capability in all feasible locations

2010 targets as promulgated by IATA Board:

By end 2010, EF in 44 locations and 76 airports representing more than 80% of global cargoBy end 2010, EF in 5 domestic markets representing 86% of domestic cargoImplement 20 electronic document standards

EF international capability - Need 20 locationsArea 3 (3 locations) Area 2 (17 locations) Area 1 (2 locations)

India and Thailand (under DLA)

Republic live one way Austria, Hungary, Malta,

Slovakia and Slovenia started implementation

Ireland Israel, Italy, Portugal, implementation in Q3

Cyprus, Estonia, Romania implementation in Q3/Q4

Kenya (LAP) implementation in Q4

Mexico LAP

EF capability - Major Airports for 201076 major airports implemented by end of 2010 is target

At end of 2009 we were at 48 major airports

Including 20 major airports as part of the new country airports that will be implemented by IATA takes us to 68

This means we need to implement at least 8 major additional airports in 2010

Candidates include:DUS; HAM; MUC; STR; SZG; LNZ; FCO; LPA; TFN; GVA; GLA; BHXYYCKIXATL; DFW; LAX; MIA

EF domestic capability - 2010 targetsArea 3 (2 locations) Area 2 (Not applicable) Area 1 (2 locations)

China implementation underway (go live August)

Electronic Air Waybill (e-AWB)

What is e-AWB?

The Air Waybill (AWB) is a critical air cargo document that constitutes the contract of carriage between the ‘shipper’ (forwarder) and the ‘carrier’ (airline).

The new Electronic Air Waybill recommended practice (e-AWB RP1670) removes the requirement for a paper Air Waybill, significantly simplifying the air freight supply chain process.

With the e-AWB, there is no longer a need to print, handle or archive the paper AWB

16

Benefits of e-AWB

Reduction in processing cost due to the removal of paper AWB

Greater accuracy of air waybill data

Reduction in cargo handling delays due to missing or illegible paper AWB

Elimination of the requirements to file paper AWB

Real-time access to AWB information for all personnel from all locations

17

Current Status for e-AWB

Developed throughout 2008 and 2009 collaboratively with industry stakeholders, in particular with FIATA

Adopted by the IATA Cargo Services Conferenceas the IATA Recommended Practice 1670

Governments adopted and filed the IATA Recommended Practice 1670

e-AWB Proof of Concepts have been implemented successfully on trade lanes (HKG/AMS/ARN)

18

How does e-AWB work?

The process flow of e-AWB allows two options:

Immediate Cargo Receipt Delivery

Deferred Cargo Receipt Delivery

19

1. Shipper sends FWB prior to delivery

2. Shipper presents the freight to the airline

3. Airline, upon delivery, accepts the freight as “ready

for carriage”*

4. Airline sends the FSU/RCS concluding the Cargo Contract

6. Airline uploads the cargo and flies it to destination

5. Airline produces the Cargo Receipt in paper

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

e-AWB:Process Overview – Immediate Cargo Receipt

* If it deviates from the FWB, the shipment shall be treated according to the exception management procedures previously agreed between the Parties

1. Shipper sends FWB prior to delivery

2. Shipper presents the freight to the airline

3. Airline receives the freight as “freight on hand”*

7. Airline uploads the cargo and flies it to destination

Step 1 Step 2 Step 4Step 3

6. Airline sends the FSU/RCS concluding the Cargo Contract and makes available the

Cargo Receipt

4. Airline produces the Warehouse Receipt** in paper

5. Airline accepts the freight as “ready for carriage”*

e-AWB:Process Overview – Deferred Cargo Receipt

* If it deviates from the FWB, the shipment shall be treated according to the exception management procedures previously agreed between the Parties

** In lieu of a Warehouse Receipt, the Carrier may verify the information on and counter-sign the Shipper's Delivery Note

Where can e-AWB be used?

Can only be implemented on trade lanes between origin and destination countries that have both ratified the same international treaty, either MP4 or MC99 (ICAO web site: http://www.icao.int/icao/en/leb/treaty.htm)

In addition, local Customs authority who ask for the AWB must accept e-AWB or a printout of e-AWB in lieu of paper AWB

The above acceptance exists in least all the locations (countries) where IATA e-freight is already implemented

For additional locations (no IATA e-freight), the above acceptance should be investigated by individual stakeholders prior to implementation

22

IATA Adoption of e-AWB

IATA Cargo Committee endorsed targets on the move to 100% e-AWB adoption by 2014

For 2010, IATA has proposed for e-AWB to be adopted between at least one freight forwarder and one airline in at least 8 locations by end of 2010. Targeted locations are: AE, CA, ES, HK, KR, NL, SG, UK

IATA will identify and communicate interim targets from 2011 to 2014 in due course

23

How to implement e-AWB?Step 1: Identify critical technology enhancements to support e-AWB

Step 2: Develop e-AWB Standard Operating Procedure (e-AWB SOP). The SOP provides step-by-step instruction needed to handle e-AWB shipments

Step 3: Sign an e-AWB agreement with your forwarder business partners. Whenever possible this agreement should be signed at corporate level to eliminate the need to have multiple local agreements

24

How to implement e-AWB?Step 4: Provide details of the signed e-AWB agreement to IATA

Step 5: Prepare for e-AWB roll-out. Some key activities to ensure a smooth transition:

Train all personnel who will be involved in the day-to-day handling of e-AWB shipments

Prepare contingency plan to minimize disruption to day-to-day process in case of go-live issues

Step 6: Start your first e-AWB shipment

25

Information on e-AWBAll documents and info to start e-AWB are freely available for download on the IATA corporate web site: www.iata.org/e-awb

The e-AWB Functional Specification, e-AWB Model Agreement, e-AWB Quick Reference Guide and other accompanying documents on the website are your starting point.

Upon request, the IATA Cargo team can also help you with expert advice. Please write to: cargo@iata.org

26

e-AWB and IATA e-freightIATA e-freight removes 12 core paper documentsfrom air cargo transportation process (with an additional 8 optional documents)

In locations with e-freight implemented, the paper AWB is used at origin as evidence of contract of carriage (but not transported to destination)

With the e-AWB, full elimination of the paper AWBis now possible for e-freight shipments

IATA targets by end of 2011, the implementation of the e-AWB will be mandatory for all e-freight shipments
