ROYAL JORDANIAN AIRLINES
JOINS TIACA
 Royal
Jordanian Airlines has joined The International Air
Cargo
Association (TIACA) and vowed to support the
Association in its ongoing campaign to tackle major
issues restricting the development of the air cargo
industry.
Ingo Roessler, Vice
President - Cargo for the airline, stated: "Royal
Jordanian has made great advances during the
last three years, achieving continuous profit and
joining one of the leading alliances for passenger
services: oneworld. Our cargo business is striving
to make similar progress and joining TIACA, the
world's leading cargo association, supports this
objective.
"We seek to
strengthen the Association as a corporate member
and look forward to strongly supporting TIACA as it
works to tackle major issues of development where
the airline industry has not enough
voice."
TIACA is actively
involved with the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), the European Civil Aviation
Council, the World Customs Organization, World Bank
and United Nations Conference on Trade &
Development (UNCTAD). Through these working
relationships, TIACA is representing the best
interests of the air cargo industry on issues such
as liberalization policy, EU transport strategies,
customs regulation and facilitation. In the past
year, through debates, consultations and
conferences, TIACA representatives have also
addressed issues including the authorized supply
chain, customs and trade integrity, air cargo and
the third world, data discipline, customs
performance measurement, unique consignment
identification and the 'virtual border'.
Jack Boisen,
Chairman of TIACA and Vice President Cargo at
Continental Airlines, said: "We welcome Royal
Jordanian Airlines as a member of TIACA and, in
particular, its commitment to supporting the many
areas we are working in. Our goal is to create a
fairer, freer, faster and less regulated
environment for an industry that is vital to world
trade and a driver of global economic development.
TIACA's membership is at an all-time high and we
welcome more members that want to join us in
working to improve the air cargo industry for its
service providers and customers."
From its hub in
Amman, Royal Jordanian serves more than 29 airports
throughout the Arab world and a further 25 points
in Europe, the USA and Asia. As well as carrying
cargo on its passenger services, the airline
operates two Airbus A310 freighters on a regular
schedule to Baghdad, Dubai, Cairo, Tel Aviv, London
Heathrow, London Gatwick, Brussels, Athens,
Larnaca, Damascus, Khartoum and New York JFK. Royal
Jordanian is also operating worldwide charters and
provides ACMI missions for airline
