TSA Deadline Looms

     With a February 16, 2015, deadline for implementation, the TSA-mandated security updates for all-cargo aircraft—affecting all U.S. and non U.S.-based freighter aircraft operators into and out of the U.S.—drew sharp fire from TIACA Secretary General Doug Brittin. Brittin worked for the TSA before joining TIACA.
     “The timing of the announcement (December 29) over the holiday season, and the short implementation period are not ideal,” Brittin said.
     “While the updates incorporate some ideas which the industry has worked on with the TSA, they do not address the risk-based approach, which we have discussed and fully supported.”
     “We would urge the TSA to consider reinstating an air cargo division to facilitate an even closer working relationship with industry.”
