TIACA has announced the appointment of Amar More, SVP, Kale Logistics, to its board. Amar will work with the TIACA team to help achieve a wider adoption of e-freight across the air freight industry. He has a strong background in supply chain technology and has worked with global cargo airlines, airports, ground handlers, and forwarders to create digital cargo community systems, e-freight platforms, and enterprise systems. “We are pleased to welcome Amar to the board as he represents a neutral technology player,” said Oliver Evans, TIACA Chairman. “He has undertaken significant work at ground level in ensuring adoption of e-freight, and delivering solutions that equip all industry stakeholders with a digital platform supporting e-freight. We look forward to his contribution in helping us achieve our digital objectives.” Amar said he was looking forward to sharing Kale’s expertise, resources, and experience with TIACA and playing a vital role in advising members on digitization initiatives in the regulatory environment. “Kale has been a long-standing TIACA trustee member,” he said. “E-freight is an initiative that spans across shippers, forwarders, airlines, and ground handling companies, and TIACA is in a unique position to influence the adoption of this initiative because it represents all stakeholders in the air freight supply chain." TIACA will be addressing the issue of e-freight at a dedicated workshop on October 7th at the Air Cargo Forum in Seoul, Korea, called Shredding the Paper Burden.
