What does IATA cargo agent mean in logistics?
Short answer
A freight agent accredited by IATA to sell air cargo space and issue air waybills on behalf of member airlines, settling with them through IATA’s Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS).
Most Indian air freight forwarders are IATA-accredited agents; accreditation involves financial and staffing criteria, and staff handling dangerous goods need IATA DGR training. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
