Aug 19, 2014 (newstodate): The Nordic IATA cargo markets are now striving to get the e-AWB process up and running with ambitious goals to see the proportion of the e-AWB going up to 22 percent by the end of this year.
But the process is not ending there.
-While the focus has so far been on implementing the e-AWN in the four Nordic markets, the Baltic states are also to be targeted with a timeframe for the introduction of the e-AWB as well, says Ulla Nilsson, IATA Manager Campaigns, based in Stockholm.
-I would expect the e-AWB to be introduced in the three Baltic markets before the end of this year, or by the start of 2015. The process has not been detailed yet as our focus is still on the Nordic markets.
-Despite the limited size of the IATA cargo markets in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it is still vital to expand the e-AWB into these markets as well.
-After that we will also be looking into the other Nordic markets, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. These two markets are still not subscribing to CASS so the process will necessarily take a different form here. Maybe we will be able to work on Greenland and the Faroe Islands simultaneously with the introduction in the Baltic region - but no definite plans are on the table yet, says Ms Nilsson.
