The associations have a number of objectives to advance aviation development across Latin America and the Caribbean including facilitating the understanding of aviation’s economic and social development in the region, and to make air transport safer.
Other objectives include promoting specific needs for air cargo liberalised economic regimes and promoting safety in the supply chain by raising awareness about counterfeit and non-compliant cargo.
Promoting sustainable solutions that enhance the role of air cargo in support of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development goals is another key objective.
Steven Polmans, Chairman of TIACA, says, “This agreement is vital as we continue our work to strengthen our presence within Latin American and the Caribbean. Working with ALTA will help us not only accomplish this, but it will help push the key issues agreed upon within the region.”
Glyn Hughes, Director General of TIACA, adds, “The signing of this MoU allows us to get to work ahead of the upcoming TIACA Event – Latin America where we can ensure that issues relevant to both organisations can be discussed. The event will bring together industry leaders to focus on what it takes to do successful air cargo business within Latin America.”
The TIACA Event – Latin America will be held on 6-8 March at the Gran Estanplaza in Sao Paulo, Brazil immediately after Intermodal South America 2024.
