SASI WORLD LAUNCHES SMART CARGO AIRPORTS ™
SASI WORLD, THE ADVISORY FOR THE GLOBAL AVIATION INDUSTRY SPECIALIZING IN AIR CARGO LOGISTICS, HAS LAUNCHED ITS EXCLUSIVE SMART CARGO AIRPORTS PRODUCT TO SERVE ITS WORLDWIDE AIRPORT AND AIRLINE CLIENT BASE.
The management and team of SASI World, comprised of industry leading experts, have recognised the need to facilitate and assist our airline and airport customer base by tying together the latest technological, environmental, regulatory, and operational elements on airport required for the introduction of new and competitive airline products.
Decades of SASI World management experience and analysis has shown that the industry still operates in a fragmented environment of standards and regulations. No one entity has a set of protocols that guides assist the industry. Major decisions and strategic alignment must be made to adjust to a post Covid world of supply chain issues and consumer demands for reliable, transparent and quality driven air cargo solutions and products.
SASI World has worked with our global customer base to set standards for Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCO) driven demands for Speed, Transparency, Quality and Compliance for both environmental issues and also economic necessities. The program has been developed through extensive customer interface. Additionally, we have incorporated information from work with the UN-CEFACT data corridor committee and ICAO.
Continuing discussions with global BCOs, Airlines and C Suite GHA management have verified the need for such a program to achieve the high value services required. Clients highly value both Chain of Custody data throughout the supply chain and a system with built in redundancy to ensure all SLA’s and KPI’s are met, this program achieves those objectives.
The protocols and standards addressed are highly valued by BCO and also the airlines that serve them, who want efficiency, transparency and speed on the ground to leverage the efficiency and speed that only a scheduled airline point to point system and hub can deliver.
The benefits are a numerous. A short summary follows:
