Tiaca offers shippers free membership

The International Air Cargo
Association (Tiaca) has
extended its membership to
all shippers, free of charge,
according to chairman,
Ulrich Ogiermann.
“Shippers are the ultimate
customers of the global air
cargo supply chain,” he told
FTW, “and deserve to be
identified as such.”
He said the initiative
recognised the importance
for air cargo service
providers of gaining a more
complete understanding of
the needs of shippers.
This is designed to
provide a forum for shippers
to get closer to existing and
prospective air logistics
partners to exchange ideas,
discuss changing needs and
challenges, and to develop
new business opportunities.
“Our free membership
offer defines a shipper as a
manufacturer, wholesaler/
distributor, retailer, or the
ultimate importer/original
exporter,” Ogiermann said.
