Lufthansa Cargo has called for a more efficient air cargo screening process which should be combined with the necessary measures to further enhance security levels, Dr Karl-Rudolf Rupprecht, Lufthansa Cargo’s board member for operations said at the Air Cargo Security 2020: Recognising Risks – Forming Alliances conference held last week.
The key topic of the conference was the forthcoming implementation of the EU’s ACC3 regulation, which is to ensure a uniform security level through validations of non-EU airports in a closed process chain. “The demand for additional transfer screening is a ‘step backwards’”, said Rupprecht. “Every air cargo shipment needs to be secured reliably before being taken on board for the first time”, he explained. “Transfer screening only causes higher costs and longer transit times – without increasing security.”
