Sep 15, 2014 (newstodate): SAS Cargo is now online with its first customer using the e-AWB facility.
-World Courier has been implemented as our first e-AWB customer in all four Nordic markets and with all nine airlines behind the e-AWB drive in the region, and the outlook is most promising, says Anders Hundahl, SAS Cargo Director IT.
-For us it is highly rewarding to see that the system is now really working after years and moths of preparations. World Courier generates a significant volume of small time-sensitive and high-value shipments requiring precision and adherence to standards.
-Next in line with SAS Cargo are now three large customers - Leman, Scan Global and DSV that will raise volumes by e-AWB significantly and contribute to achieving the critical mass needed to really streamline the flow.
-Many more forwarders are involved further down the line, but in many cases adjustments to latest requirements are still needed before the implementation of e-AWB can be completed. Also the handling companies may need time to make all IT systems fully capable of dealing with the e-AWB.
-But to sum it all up: we are now dealing with the e-AWB as a part of our daily routines and quite confident that we will reach the targets set by the nine carriers in the Nordic region, says Mr Hundahl.
