Jan 27, 2015 (newstodate): The implementation process for IATA's e-AWB is moving ahead in Denmark, with some airlines still lagging behind.
-The process is actually proceeding quite well, having overcome the teething troubles experienced in the beginning, says Henrik Carstensen, Danish Airfreight Forwarders and managing director at Strait Air.
-Most of freight forwarders are now taking part in the process and we do not hear of any major problems with the implementation as for forwarders.
-The process is still depending on the airlines' dedication to the e-AWB, and here again, most of the players are actively promoting and driving the the implementation - with a few significant exceptions notably Thai Cargo, and Singapore Airlines that has not been heard from much in this respect.
-The target for 2015, set by IATA, remains 45 percent by the end of 2015. I have some reservations about this - maybe we will lag slightly behind landing at around 40 percent. But that is, after all, not bad either. At least the process is constantly gaining momentum and the key drivers are playing their role, says Mr Carstensen who will leave his position with Strait Air by the end of February to take up a new position as Managing Director of Hanstholm Harbor.
He will continue with Danish Airfreight Forwarders' Association until April 2015 when his successor has been named.
