RE:  e-Ruckus As FIATA vs IATA

Dear Geoffrey,

   Once again I feel I must write to highlight an erroneous item you have published with regards to IATA activity. In your Sept 18th issue you state under the headline “e-Ruckus as IATA vs FIATA” the following;
    “…In a special newsletter —e-flash 81 dated September 3rd, 2014—FIATA has reached out to their members to support FIATA’s stand against the air IATA initiative to add paper Air Waybill surcharges…”
   This is completely inaccurate. As you are well aware, IATA does not introduce surcharges and does not engage in discussions with Members about their commercial policies which may or may not include the introduction of surcharges.
   I would therefore request you print a correction stating that in fact IATA has not and does not engage in the activity of surcharge introduction.

With best regards,
Glyn
Glyn Hughes
IATA Head of Cargo

Dear Glyn,

   Thanks for your letter.
   We have omitted “IATA led” from the piece, and understand that surcharges are levied by carriers.
   Can you provide us some information in response to the thrust of our story?
   What effort is being put forth by IATA to bring FIATA onboard the AWB program ?

My most distinguished greetings,
Geoffrey
