Yusen signs e-airwaybill deal
[ July 16, 2014 // Chris ]Yusen Logistics has concluded a multilateral electronic air waybill (e-AWB) agreement with the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The forwarder will be able to simplify contract procedures, as individual contracts with IATA member airlines for e-AWB implementation will no longer be necessary. e-AWBs are an initiative developed by e-Freight, an industry-wide program that aims to build a paperless, end-to-end transportation process for air cargo, as well as reducing office work and CO2 emissions.
