Aug 09, 2013 (newstodate): IATA is now putting top-priority on the work to implement the electronic AWB in the Nordic region.
-Based on our assessment, there was little problem for the airfreight industry and the national authorities in the Nordic region in implementing the new security measures, and the e-security and the e-AWB go hand-in-hand, literally speaking, says Ulla Nilson, IATA Manager Campaigns Nordic & Baltic.
-We will now look into the routines connected to the e-AWB at each single station in the region. This process has actually already started.
-Several forwarders either have upgraded, or are in the process of upgrading, their IT-systems to be able to work with e-AWB, and IATA has been cooperating with various IT systems providers to offer standard solutions catering to the needs by both small and large forwarding companies.
-Implementing the e-AWB will save huge amounts of money in the industry relieved of the burden to verify and print-out paper AWBs - but we cannot avoid, of course, an interim period with overlapping procedures, says Ms Nilson.
