Our Environmental commitment

Overview While the aviation industry confronts numerous environmental issues, two are critically important to the air cargo supply chain: noise and climate change. It is essential to develop environmental policies providing a sensible relationship between individuals’ and societal needs for acceptable noise and emission levels with what may seem conflicting considerations of employment, service supply and access to the workplace. Environmental concerns are likely to be a dominant global concern for the foreseeable future, and will therefore remain a critical TIACA concern. Where possible, TIACA will urge constructive, long-term measures as credible alternatives. TIACA will also seek to provide members with thorough, up-to-date information on key issues affecting air cargo.

The information within this section is sorted by three subheadings:

Mission

To be the voice for the air cargo industry on environmental issues.  Environmental initiatives by organizations such as ATAG and IATA, although effective, for the most part advocate on behalf of the aviation industry as a whole.  This creates an opportunity for TIACA to play an important role by complementing these efforts with air cargo-specific information and advocacy.  By collaborating with other trade aviation associations, TIACA leverages its resources to have the greatest impact and positions itself as a valuable resource.

Initiatives

Represent TIACA members’ interest on environmental issues that impact the air cargo industry. Educate, inform, and communicate with TIACA members’ on environmental issues that impact the air cargo industry

Position

Environment Position: Responsibility, Reality, Results TIACA members accept their responsibility to influence positive change that leads to measurable environmental benefits. However, these changes must also take into account the true importance and role of the transport industry and its positive economic impact on the global community. More.....
