What does Regulated agent (BCAS) mean in logistics?
Short answer
An agent approved by the aviation security regulator to screen and secure air cargo before it is tendered to an airline, so the cargo can travel without further screening.
In India regulated agents are approved by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and must follow its cargo security programme, including screening equipment and trained staff. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
