The CCS-UK airfreight community user group has launched a new module that


it says will speed


cargo through Heathrow Airport’s transit sheds. CCS-UK Advanced Info will allow freight agents, and their transport providers, to send advance information and alerts to handling agents and to submit Electronic Consignment Security Declarations (eCSDs). Information such as the vehicle,


driver, cargo being delivered, handling agent and expected time of arrival can be submitted through a web portal or, for larger and more frequent users, direct from the forwarder’s system. Information will be accessible


to all parties, although only data applicable to each handler will be seen by them. Agents using the system get pre-


allocated truck doors to help cut queuing while handling agents will receive cargo information direct


into their systems, eliminating re- keying and speeding up vehicle processing. The system is also designed to prevent previously used information from having to be rekeyed. CCS-UK Advanced Info will also


eliminate some paper documents, as envisaged by the IATA e-Freight programme. In future, import release notes,


and ETSF (External Temporary Storage Facility, formerly ERTS) day sheets could be replaced with electronic messages and there are plans to advise forwarders and their transport providers of the status of their trucks. A further planned enhancement will be transmission of import messages from handler to agent. CCS-UK Advanced Info will be


available at Heathrow first and eventually rolled out to all UK airport communities. User group chairman Steve Parker said:

under test by a handling agent, an airfreight haulier and three airfreight forwarders.


Parker added that there had


even been talk of enforcing the adoption of Advanced Information by means of entry barriers at airport cargo terminals, “allowing access only to pre- registered vehicles on payment of a charge.” However, while this might come about in the future, the User Group says that restrictions should not be introduced before


suitable off-airport holding parks can be made available to separate registered and unregistered trucks– otherwise there will be bottle-necks at the barriers. Launch of CCS-UK Advanced

Canada test-bed for new airfreight programme


The new IATA-FIATA Air Cargo Program (IFACP), which aims to modernise relations between airlines and forwarders, has been pilot-launched in Canada It will be rolled out globally


following the Canadian pilot, replacing IATA’s existing Cargo Agency Program, and will be jointly managed by forwarders and airlines as equal partners. A new IATA-FIATA Governance


Board (IFGB) will run the programme, which provides a framework of industry standards in line with best practices and safety regulations. Existing Cargo Agency Program


members will join IFACP with no further assessment and will continue their existing enrolment in Cargo Account Settlement Systems (CASS), which remains unchanged.
