The recent e-AWB workshop held in Bangkok by the Thai International Freight Forwarders Association, or TIFFA EDI, was reported to be a great success, reinforcing Thailand's increasing interest in e-AWB.

The workshop saw representation from leading airlines including Lufthansa, Etihad and Swiss, and IATA representatives also joined a host of leading freight forwarders in attendance.

TIFFA conducted a seminar on e-AWB & e-Freight to share the details of significant inroads made by the organisation in the e-AWB & e-Freight arena. The TIFFA team presented a comprehensive overview of the e-AWB filing process through TIFFA's platform and the plethora of benefits that can be derived from it by Thai cargo stakeholders, including forwarders, airlines, airport cargo handlers and many others besides.
The seminar demonstrated how the e-AWB process works around the clock, helps build process efficiencies, saves costs, ensures data accuracy and ultimately helps forwarders and other cargo stakeholders to move towards attaining e-Freight status.

Prem Jaliyawatwong, Perishables Cargo Sales Manager, Harpers Freight International Air Cargo, said of the event: "TIFFA EDI is doing remarkable work. Their actions so far speak much louder than their words, as was demonstrated in the seminar, which was very informative and it actually made us aware on how exactly our forwarding community can be readied for adoption of e-AWB & e-Freight."

Managing Director of TIFFA EDI Services, Anusorn Lovichit, commented: "The key differentiator of working with TIFFA EDI team is the fact that we not only have the most robust platform but also a streamlined e-AWB on boarding process. Our experts hold hands to understand customer operations, are completely involved in their strategic planning to make e-AWB/e-Freight adoption a success and ensure close co-operation between the customer, airlines and the airport GHA."
