IATA e-freight: Introduction The air freight supply chain faces increasing challenges: Customers want, faster speed, lower costs and more reliability Regulators want more security and demand more information Slowing economic growth means less revenue One way to meet these challenges is to migrate from a paper based process to a data driven process for transportation of goods IATA e-freight is taking the paper out of air cargo and replacing it with electronic messages Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

Electronic messages that replace documents used in all types of transport – like the packing list, invoice or certificate of origin – work for air, sea and land shipments.   Interoperability is a key criteria in the development of IATA e-freight messaging standards. The 13 electronic documents standards developed – and the 3 more on the way in 2009 – already work for companies large and small and allow systems to communicate with each other, including systems operated by customs and civil aviation authorities. Standards defined are multimodal and interoperable Consignees Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: The Business Case for e-freight Lower costs Up to US$4.9 billion annual net benefits across the supply chain Total benefits US$5.9 billion, less US$1 billion in operational costs of messaging and scanning electronic documents Conservative estimate: US$3.1 billion in benefits, based on 80% e-freight capability and penetration across the industry 1.7 bn 1.7 bn 0.8 bn 1.7 bn Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: The Business Case for e-freight Better service Faster supply chain transit times The ability to send shipment documentation before the cargo itself can reduce the end-to-end cycle time by an average of 24 hours Greater accuracy Electronic documents auto population – allowing one time electronic data entry at point of origin - reduces delays to shipments due to inaccurate or inconsistent data entry Electronic documents also are less likely to be misplaced, so shipments will not be delayed because of missing documentation In South Korea, freight forwarders can now transport freight to the airlines as soon as the FWB is created. Printing and manual pouching of the documents can be done after the freight departs, saving time and money. Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: The Business Case for e-freight Better service Better tracking Data entered electronically gives organisations the opportunity to track shipments en route – allowing for real-time status updates Better for the environment IATA e-freight will eliminate more than 7,800 tonnes of paper documents, the equivalent of 80 Boeing 747 freighters In various locations, airlines now have improved electronic arrival alert mechanisms. That means that freight forwarders no longer have to go to the airline or GHA arrival counter to be notified of freight receipt. Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Document Processing Costs 20 documents will be replaced with electronic messages by removing 64% of the paper volume A reduction in the cost of document processing across the supply chain from USD 40 per house shipment to USD 25 per shipment This equates to cost saving US$ 1.73 billion across the supply chain, i.e., shipper, forwarder and airline For a typical self handled airline this can mean US$9 saving per consignment or US$2-5 m per annum For a typical freight forwarder this can mean a saving of US$14 per consignment For a shipper this can mean US$7 saving per consignment Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Delivery Time Assuming 100% e-freight, the worldwide value of goods shipped is predicted to be US$ 6,377 billion IATA e-freight will allow the reduction of an average of 24 hours in transit time This translates into the release of US$ 17 billion of capital - the value of goods shipped in a day Assuming a 5% return on investment, this translates into shipper’s savings of US$ 870 million per year In Dubai, with no paper, there’s no need to queue at customs counters. Fees can be paid through electronic debit, saving time. In Amsterdam, freight forwarders are now able to bring freight directly to the delivery dock instead of via the document centre. This saves 30-60 minutes from the usual process, which means that truck drivers can be engaged for shorter time periods. Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Inventory Savings: The value of the inventory kept as "buffer stock" is 12% of the value of goods sold Of this "buffer stock", 25% is held because of the unreliability of the logistics chain The assumption is that, improvements in reliability due to the adoption of e-freight will reduce the overall "buffer stock" that is required to be kept by 22% The benefit to shippers will be US$ 1.74 billion per annum Goods Sold 12% buffer stock 25% of this is due to the unreliability of the logistics chain IATA e-freight will reduce this by 22% Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Reduced Customs Penalties Electronic one time date entry is more accurate as less prone to errors As customs penalties are often due to improper data entry, assumption is IATA e-freight will reduce customs penalties by 25% Benefit to the industry is US$ 200 million per annum Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Increased Market Share: IATA e-freight implementation will make the industry more competitive through improved speed and reliability Resulting in a conservative 1% market share increase over other modes of transportation Benefit to the industry is US$ 1.78 billion per annum Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009

IATA e-freight: Specific Benefits Regulatory compliance and increased security: IATA e-freight meets international and local regulations relating to the provision of electronic documents and data required by customs, civil aviation and other regulatory authorities Electronic documents restrict availability of data to parties who require them for the completion of the transportation Simplifying the Business Ó INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009
