ONE Source platform offers single source of up-to-date certification and infrastructure data
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched IATA ONE Source, an online platform which helps the air cargo industry match shipping needs with the availability of infrastructure capabilities and certifications of service providers across the value chain.
This is particularly timely amid the Covid-19 crisis when shippers of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals need accurate information for time- and temperature-sensitive shipments, a press note said.
ONE Source lists the latest operational information on airlines, airports, cargo handling facilities, freight forwarders, ground handlers, shippers, and trucking companies. All critical information contained on ONE Source has been verified by IATA to help ensure its accuracy. IATA ONE Source is free for all service providers across the air cargo supply chain.
“The need for greater transparency is even more critical in the current context. ONE Source addresses this by providing a single reference point for up-to-date infrastructure and certification data, helping save time and keep air cargo moving,” observed Glyn Hughes, IATA’s Global Head of Cargo.
The ONE Source platform offers single source of up-to-date certification and infrastructure data; streamlined information per aviation service provider type allowing for direct capability comparison and details on IATA Certifications among other benefits.
ONE Source is part of the IATA Smart Facility Programme, an initiative to create transparency in cargo handling services and enhance essential cargo operational capabilities to a consistently higher baseline level across the industry.
