The IATA Cargo Delivery Model
IATA Cargo will be playing an important role in facilitating the transformation of the air cargo business and supporting its members in the delivery of industry objectives.
A guiding concept of IATA’s structure is “global development, regional delivery”, where the head office divisions drive the development of global standards, systems and advocacy positions, while the regional and country offices are responsible for implementation.
To deliver its cargo agenda, IATA relies on:
• A dedicated Cargo team structured around six functional areas;
• Cargo regional and local managers in five Regions;
• A dedicated cargo structure in the US, CNS, handling every aspect of the agenda and governed by the dedicated CNS Board;
• Business partners in the Financial and Distribution Services division (handling CASS, Cargo Agency program);
• Business partners and commercial experts managing the extensive cargo products portfolio (publications, training, business intelligence solutions, consulting);
• Business partner expertise in advocacy to develop, conduct and support lobbying and outreach activities related to air cargo;
• Business partner expertise in economics to monitor and forecast the air cargo outlook; and
• Business partner expertise in legal to take a global view of the ever changing legal environment in which we operate.
