JUN 25, 2003 (newstodate): Cargo 200 is now ready to accept ground handling agents under the program.
-Ground handlers provide a vital service for airlines, freight forwarders and shippers. It was always Cargo 2000's intention to invite GHAs
to participate because, in very many cases, they will be responsible for actually delivering the standardised quality system on behalf of our
existing and future airline members, says Roger Gibson, vice president of United Airlines Cargo and chairman of Cargo 2000.
To qualify for membership, industry associates must be providing services in
at least one of the gateways specified in Cargo 2000's network plan and must be able to demonstrate a commitment to quality management. They must be financially sound and able to prove their ability to comply with the quality management system.
Companies wishing to join must be sponsored by a Cargo 2000 member and will need to be approved by the Cargo 2000 Board. The cost of membership will range from USD 10,000 to USD 25,000 per year, depending on the number of
countries covered and the level of quality audits required.
