IATA has launched 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.

One Source lists the latest operational information on airlines, airports, cargo handling facilities, freight forwarders, ground handlers, shippers, and trucking companies - all verified by IATA to help ensure accuracy.

IATA One Source, which is free for all service providers across the air cargo supply chain, offers: Single source of up-to-date certification and infrastructure data; Streamlined information per aviation service provider type allowing for direct capability comparison; One Source API providing a direct data feed to company systems; Increased audit efficiency by complementing risk analysis data for a more accurate evaluation of auditing needs; Reduced audit complexity, focused on Unique Selling Points and security aspects; and Details on IATA Certifications.

“Air cargo has been essential in the global fight against COVID19, transporting vital equipment and medicines to those who need them most,” said IATA’s Global Head of Cargo Glyn Hughes. “However, with over 3,500 differently sized cargo handling facilities worldwide, the industry until now has lacked visibility on the capacities and services these facilities can offer. 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.”
