The Airforwarders Association (AfA) serves as the voice of the airforwarding industry. The Association is an alliance of Indirect Air Carriers, Cargo Airlines, and affiliated businesses located throughout the global transportation community. Airforwarders play a vital role in ensuring the continuous movement of commerce worldwide.
A wide variety of goods are shipped via air cargo - from organs for medical transplants to mail to live animals to manufactured goods such as clothing. Manufacturers rely heavily on air cargo shipments to ensure timely and secure delivery of goods, which is necessary to remain competitive in the global market.
Security is and always has been the first priority of our industry. Airforwarders are experienced professionals who maintain full control over cargo in secured facilities until it is delivered directly to the plane for transport.
The United States House Homeland Security Committee's Transportation Security and Infrastructure Protection Subcommittee held a hearing titled "100% Air Cargo Screening: Remaining Steps to Secure Passenger Aircraft." The hearing took place on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The Airforwarders Association submitted public testimony to the committee.
