Neutral Air Partner has launched a partnership with IATA interest group Cargo iQ to improve data visibility for customers.

The two organisations seek to improve quality, efficiency and reliability in the air cargo sector.

“Because of this new cooperation between Neutral Air Partner and Cargo iQ, we have jointly brought even more air cargo industry stakeholder, regardless of size and volume handled, to work in a true partnership towards improved process and data quality. Enhancing quality, visibility and reliability is one of the key requirements, voiced by the shippers and their associations,” said Lothar Moehle, executive director of Cargo iQ.

Laura Rodríguez, manager implementation for Cargo iQ, added: “At Cargo iQ we see huge potential to provide Neutral Air Partner members with shipment planning visibility throughout the cargo journey. Our standards allow companies to know exactly how and when their shipment in planned to go through each step of the journey, from Freight on Hand (FOH) to Delivery (DLV).”

“We are excited to partner with Cargo iQ, aligning with our shared commitment to elevate standards in the air cargo sector. This collaboration enhances our services, providing essential visibility and efficiency for our members. Together, we set a precedent for future collaborations prioritizing transparency and reliability in air cargo,” commented Christos Spyrou, chief executive of Neutral Air Partner.

Cargo iQ was formed by stakeholders of the air cargo supply chain working together to set standards and improve quality and performance in the sector. With a focus on enhancing end-to-end supply chain transparency, Cargo iQ’s main projects involve the standardization of processes and the implementation of quality benchmarks.

One of Cargo iQ’s main features is its advanced visibility functions, which provides real-time insight into the movement of shipments from its planning stage using a “route map”, which is always shared by the airline and the freight forwarder.

Cargo iQ’s route map enables forwarders to monitor air cargo movement, receive real-time replanning information as well as exception handling alerts.
