ICAO and WCO update guidance on air cargo security threats
ICAO and the World Customs Organisation (WCO) have jointly unveiled an updated publication aimed at supporting air transport regulators and operators in their efforts to address security threats related to air cargo operations.
The revised supply chain and secure mail publication, titled "Moving Air Cargo Globally," has now been released
Given the intricate and multifaceted nature of the air cargo and the mail's operating environment, there are inherent challenges in implementing security measures and countering potential threats on a day-to-day basis said the joint statement.
The latest advice presented in the third edition of this publication outlines the specific roles and responsibilities of various entities involved in the process.
Moreover, it emphasises the importance of effective collaboration among these entities within the regulatory framework to ensure the security of air cargo and mail operations.
"Maintaining operational efficiency and commercial viability has always been at the cornerstone of ICAO's efforts towards improving aviation security, as demonstrated by the tremendous adaptability and resilience the air cargo sector showed during the COVID-19 pandemic," said ICAO secretary general Juan Carlos Salazar.
