The quality journey doesn’t stop here, and we at Cargo iQ are committed to accompany Avianca Cargo and the team on the next steps.”
Avianca has committed to continuously improving their air cargo processes and service offerings by implementing Cargo iQ's quality standards and will undertake semi-annual reviews, in collaboration with the operations team, to ensure that the GHA station performance is being reflected properly in the shipment planning parameters, the release added.
“With over 50 years of experience, our company embraces the challenges of the future by leveraging our strengths and commitment to innovation," says Eduardo Arenas, Director, Alliances, Strategy and Transformation, Avianca Cargo. "We are committed to high quality operational standards and utilise the latest advancements in quality through Cargo iQ, to shape the future of air cargo."
