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.
