The MoU also involves mutual participation in each other’s working groups and committees to provide industry expertise and strategic guidance.

Both organisations state they will work together to create relevant industry guidance and technical recommendations for their members.

They will also cross-promote each other’s activities, such as events and publications, and exchange relevant documents, data, and information as needed.

Steven Polmans, chair of TIACA, said: “TIACA aims to unite the air cargo sector, and partnering with key organisations like ACI is a step towards this goal.

“Together, we support the industry’s sustainable growth and development, ensuring efficient and safe operations.”
