December 22 Easing the Holiday Peak

Keeping shipments flowing through our facilities is key during this peak period and helps us better serve all our customers. From now until the end of December, we recommend that our valued Toronto-area customers ensure the retrieval of their inbound freight from our facilities in a timely manner.

We thank you for your cooperation.

December 15 SEA and PDX - e-AWB Enabled

We are pleased to inform you that e-AWB is now enabled for shipments originating in Seattle (SEA) and Portland (PDX).

The e-AWB Single Process will enable you to tender your shipments without a paper AWB (a plain paper copy, however, is required to be tendered for the trucks to cross the border). For destinations where a paper AWB might be required due to regulatory, operational, or other reasons, we will print the paper AWB for you, based on the air waybill data transmitted.

As we work towards our goal of moving away from paper air waybills, we encourage you to take the necessary steps to join us in this effort that will result in multiple benefits for everyone involved in the air freight industry.

e-AWB: 3 EASY STEPS

1. Join the IATA Multilateral e-AWB Agreement. This agreement covers the terms and conditions found on the reverse side of traditional paper AWBs. See the IATA website for details.
2. Request the IATA Multilateral Activation Notice from Air Canada Cargo.
3. Transmit air waybill data before cargo acceptance at the terminal. Data can be delivered using IATA's EDI Cargo IMP (FWB), XML (XFWB) messages or via tool. This covers the front side of a traditional paper AWB.

e-BOOKING: A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Air Canada Cargo's e-Booking tool is e-AWB compatible and makes online booking of cargo an easy proposition.

FIND OUT MORE

To learn more about e-AWB, our e-Booking tool or any of our other e-services, visit those areas of our website, or contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative.

During this time, the CBSA will be working with Air Canada Cargo to ensure we are receiving the eManifest Deconsolidation Notice Messages. When the process between the CBSA and Air Canada Cargo has been deemed fully functional, we will communicate with you further.

During this transition period, and until such time that Air Canada Cargo can receive the eManifest Deconsolidation Notice Messages, we will continue to accept the following paper options:

• Paper copy of the EDI deconsolidation notice message - NO CBSA stamp required
• Paper copy of House Bill Close Message - CBSA stamp IS required
• Paper copy of the consolidated cargo control document (CCD) - CBSA stamp IS required

UPDATE: Please note that during the transition period, those not yet registered for eManifest, can continue to use all previously accepted methods to clear their shipments.

Should you have any questions regarding this new policy, you can visit the CBSA website at www.cbca-asfc.gc.ca/prog/manif/menu-eng.html or send them an email at emanifest-manifestelectronique@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.

October 17 marks the start of Transport Canada's changes to the Air Cargo Security Program.
This is an important change that concerns all of us involved in air freight.

WORKING TOGETHER

Over the past several months, we at Air Canada Cargo have been working to ensure we are fully prepared to ensure the transition to this new program is smooth. We've encouraged our customers and partners to apply in time to the new program.
We're also investing. We will increase the number of onsite screening agents at our key Canadian stations to accommodate additional volume of screenings and invest in additional equipment.

BEING PREPARED

If your business has already applied to Transport Canada's Transport Canada's Air Cargo Security Program, make sure you are prepared when your file comes up for review by Transport Canada to avoid delays.
If you have not yet applied to Transport Canada's Air Cargo Security Program, Transport Canada will continue to process all application received beyond October 17. As the approval process can take up to 6 months, it is important for your business to submit as soon as possible.

TIPS FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION

As partners in the secure chain, it is important that we all work together. Gere are a few things you can do to help make this transition smooth:

• As October 17 approaches, make sure everyone in your organization is aware of the changes.
• Talk to your drivers. Let them know this change is coming.
• Ensure your shipments are tendered with all the proper paperwork filled out.
• Keep peak periods in mind, and when possible tender ahead of times that are likely to be busy.

August 16 e-Air Waybill - Preferred in Geneva

Electronic air waybill (e-AWB) will become the preferred method of shipping cargo at our Geneva station (GVA), effective October 1, 2016.

e-AWB: 3 EASY STEPS

1. Join the IATA Multilateral e-AWB Agreement. This agreement covers the terms and conditions found on the reverse side of traditional paper AWBs. See the IATA website for details.
2. Transmit air waybill data before cargo acceptance at the terminal. Data can be delivered using IATA's EDI Cargo IMP or XML (FWB/XFWB) messages or via web tool. This covers the front side of a traditional paper AWB.
3. Tender your shipments without paper AWB. For destinations where a paper AWB might be required due to regulatory, operational, or other reasons, we will print the paper AWB for you, based on the air waybill data transmitted.

e-BOOKING: A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Air Canada Cargo's e-Booking tool is e-AWB compatible and makes online booking of cargo an easy proposition.

May 5 Using e-Booking? Make Sure You're Issuing an e AWB

When making a booking using our e-Booking tool, issuing an e-AWB is a separate step. Remember to do it, otherwise the e-AWB will not be issued. Here's how:

After you have completed a booking, a confirmation message will appear. Click the red Create AWB button and the system will walk you through the generation of the e-AWB.



When you see the following message, your electronic air waybill is done and submitted.

NO NEED FOR PAPER

DO NOT tender your shipment with a paper AWB if you've issued your e-AWB. If we receive a paper AWB with your shipment, we are obligated to accept the paper version and not the e-AWB, as the paper version is the last version associated with your shipment.

FEE WILL APPLY JUNE 1

Remember that as of June 1, an $18 charge will apply for domestic shipments in Canada tendered without an e-AWB.

If you haven't registered for our e-Booking tool, you can register any time.

May 4 Air Cargo Security - Secure Supply Chain

Thank you for participating in Transport Canada's Air Cargo Security Program.

The Secure Supply Chain keeps air cargo secure and free from tampering while being handled at different stages of its journey, while reducing cargo screening bottlenecks at airports.

As a participant in Transport Canada's Air Cargo Security Program (as a Known Consignor or Regulated Agent), you have a critical role to play in ensuring that all cargo maintains its secure status throughout the chain.

Transporting cargo from your facility to the airline is part of that chain. This means that any other party you do business with that is involved with accepting, storing or transporting your freight on your behalf must also be a Certified Agent in time for the October 17 deadline. This ensures that your cargo maintains its secure status through verifiable chain-of-custody procedures.

If your company applied to be a Known Consignor, as originators of cargo, you will be able to secure air cargo through a screening process applied at the time of packing. The air carrier can then treat the cargo as secure so long as the chain of custody is maintained by certified members of the Air Cargo Security Program.



Screening can be conducted by a Regulated Agent when cargo is received from outside the Secure Supply Chain. Once screened, the cargo can continue as secure to the air carrier so long as the chain of custody can be maintained.



Should you have any questions regarding the Secure Supply Chain, or the Air Cargo Security Program, you can refer to the Transport Canada website for more details:

April 26 100% Domestic e-AWB: The Home Stretch!

On January 21, we launched a campaign aimed at obtaining 100% e-AWB usage on domestic shipments by April 28. Thanks to your engagement and response, we have seen dramatic usage increases over the course of our campaign. Here are some of the highlights:

• e-AWB usage in Canada has increased by 55% over last year
• 60% of our top customers have an e-AWB usage of 90% or more
• Usage of our e-Booking tool has doubled since December

We are aware that many of you are still in the midst of making the conversion to e-AWB. To support those of you that are finalizing your e-AWB conversion plans, the $18 fee for shipments tendered without an e-AWB will be waived until June 1.

There is still time to get on board with e-AWB. If you have any questions, please visit our website, or contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative.

The success of the campaign so far is attributable to hard work and a willingness of the industry to embrace the many benefits of switching to e-AWB. Thank you to all of you who have joined us and made this goal attainable.

March 30 Important Information About Customs Requirements For Shipments to Turkey - Effective April 1

The Republic of Turkey Ministry of Customs and Trade requires that all shipments tendered to Air Canada Cargo destined to or transiting via Turkey (IST) must be reported down to the House Air Waybill (HAWB) level. This applies to simple master air waybills, consolidation master air waybills and each HAWB, and each consignee.

Non-compliance: Air Canada Cargo will not be able to move shipments until the required information has been prepared.

IMPORTANT: TURKISH REPUBLIC TAX IDENTITY NUMBER (TR IDENTITY NUMBER)

All air waybills destined to or transiting via Turkey must contain the consignee's Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number) as well as the HCC (Harmonized Commodity Code).

Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number):

• The consignee's Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number) is mandatory for all simple master air waybills, consolidation master air waybills and each HAWB and each consignee destined to or via Turkey.
• Each consignee has a single Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number); it does not change for each shipment.
• The shipper, forwarder and/or agent are responsible to assign the appropriate Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number) to the AWB.
• The Turkish Republic Tax Identity Number (TR Identity Number) MUST be indicated on the source document to avoid fines and delays for both the consignee and the carrier:
• e-AWB - MUST be indicated on the OCI line.
• Paper air waybill (AWB)- MUST be indicated on the "Handling Information" section of the AWB

To avoid fines and delays for both the consignee and the carrier, special precautions must be taken to ensure that all cargo be manifested:

• HCC (Harmonized Commodity Code) - this code is mandatory for each goods description at the MAWB and HAWB level.
• The HCC number consists of a minimum of 6 numerical characters and MUST be indicated on the source document to avoid fines and delays for both the consignee and the carrier
• e-AWB - MUST be indicated on the OSI line
• Paper air waybill (AWB) - MUST be indicated on the "NATURE OF GOODS" section of the AWB.

Non-compliance: Air Canada Cargo will not be able to move shipments until the required information has been provided.

March 17 100% e-AWB Usage in Canada: Testimonials

We've been busy working with customers across Canada to help them switch to e-AWB by April 28; the results are overwhelmingly positive. Here's what some of you are saying:

• No more multipart forms or printing multiple copies of air waybills. No more missing AWB's on invoice statements!
• We no longer see errors on booking and routing details of tendered cargo.
• Switching to e-AWB is beneficial to any business, as it results in less non-productive time by support departments. We're also seeing the added benefit of automated carrier updated being populated directly into our CRM.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY!

Starting April 28, domestic shipments within Canada must be tendered with an electronic air waybill (e-AWB). A fee of $18 will be applied to non-e-AWB domestic shipments tendered in Canada.

If you have any questions about e-AWB or how to transition, please visit our website or contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative.

• Transmit air waybill data before cargo acceptance at the terminal. Data can be delivered using IATA's EDI Cargo IMP (FWB) messages or via web tool. This covers the front side of a traditional paper AWB.

The e-AWB enables you to tender your shipments without a paper AWB, saving on time and resources. For destinations where a paper AWB might be required due to regulatory, operational, or other reasons, we will print the paper AWB for you, based on the air waybill data transmitted.

e-BOOKING: A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Air Canada Cargo's e-Booking tool is e-AWB compatible and makes online booking an easy proposition.

March 9 March 31: Deadline for Applying to the New Air Cargo Security Program

Last fall, Transport Canada's Air Cargo Security Program launched a new application process in support of regulatory enhancements passed earlier in the year. Canada's air cargo industry will have more options to determine where within the supply chain cargo can be screened to secure it for air transport.

Any business wishing to accept, store, transport or screen secure air cargo must submit its application by MARCH 31. While the program officially starts October 17, the application process can take up to 6 months. Applications received after March 31 will continue to be processed but may not be finalized before the program changes go into effect.

While participation in the Air Cargo Security Program is voluntary, failure to apply under one of the new participant categories will result in delays and fees associated with screening cargo.

INFORMATIONAL WEBINARS

In partnership with Transport Canada, Air Canada Cargo has arranged for free, informational webinars about the changes to help guide our customers through the process. We invite you to review the list of webinars offered below, and register for the one that suits your schedule:

March 8 100% e-AWB in Canada: Fee Applies as of April 28

As someone who does business with Air Canada Cargo, we want to inform you that we are migrating to 100% e-AWB usage domestically by April 28.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
Starting April 28, domestic shipments within Canada must be tendered with an electronic air waybill (e-AWB). A fee of $18 will be applied to non-e-AWB domestic shipments tendered in Canada.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
If your company is not already set-up to generate electronic air waybills, there are two options to do so: the Air Canada Cargo e-Booking tool and Cargo Portal Services (CPS). If you have not already registered for either service, you can do so today:

Register for e-Booking
Register for CPS

The e-AWB is the first and most important step in shifting our industry towards e-freight and reducing our reliance on paper documentation.
If you have any questions about e-AWB or how you can transition to e-AWB for all domestic shipments within Canada, please visit our website or contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative.

March 4 Air Canada Cargo Moves To a Simplified Rate Structure in Select Regions

Effective April 1, 2016, Air Canada Cargo will introduce a simplified rate structure for its customers in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Israel, India and Africa. Rates will be converted to this new structure and will apply to all shipments from these regions.

The simplified rates will include amounts previously charged for fuel and security and will apply to all shipping solutions, including all our specialized solutions like AC Cool Chain, AC DGR and AC Live.

"In moving to a simple fee structure, we are responding, not only to feedback from our customers, but also to the current market environment. In 2015, Air Canada Cargo introduced simplified rates in the Americas, a move that was well received by customers," says Mark Olney, General Manager for the region.

Air Canada Cargo customers in the above mentioned regions will receive their new rates in the coming weeks.

Should you have any questions regarding this new rate structure, contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative.

February 25 New Lithium Battery Regulations

On February 22, the ICAO Council adopted the recommendation of the ICAO Air Navigation Commission (ANC) that lithium ion batteries, UN 3480, Packing Instruction 965 only, be forbidden, on an interim basis, as cargo on passenger aircraft.

EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2016

As a result, all packages prepared in accordance with Section IA, IB or II of Packing Instruction 965 will be forbidden for carriage on passenger aircraft starting April 1, 2016.

To comply with the international dangerous goods regulations, Air Canada will no longer accept consignments containing lithium ion batteries, UN 3480, for transport as cargo as of April 1. This restriction will remain in place until such time as the regulations are changed to permit such transport on passenger aircraft.

Please note that the prohibition does not apply to lithium ion batteries packed with equipment or lithium ion batteries contained in equipment, UN 3481, Packing Instruction 966 and Packing Instruction 967 respectively.

A further addendum to the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations will be issued shortly to align with the issuance of Addendum 4 to the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods.

Air Canada Cargo will continue to keep you updated about any developments.

January 29 Reinstated: Declaration for US-Bound Shipments

The United States Transport Security Administration has reinstated the following. The action required below applies as of 00:01 EST Friday, January 29, 2016, to all shipments destined to the United States.

All shipments destined to the United States must be tendered with a written declaration stating that the shipper has reviewed all available documentation and has determined that none of the cargo being offered in this consignment or consolidation has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen or Egypt, as per the current embargo. See below for proper phrasing: 

"Name of entity" has reviewed all available documentation and has determined that none of the cargo being offered in this consignment or consolidation has originated in, transferred from, or transited through any point in Somalia, Syria, Yemen, or Egypt.

There are three ways to include the statement:

1 - For shipments tendered as an e-AWB, the statement is to be added in the OSI – Other Service Information or the SSR- Special Service Request fields.

2 - On a paper air waybill, the statement must be included in a field that will be printed on the air waybill, such as the Handling Information or Nature and Quantity of Goods fields.

3 - The statement can be contained on a separate document with reference to the air waybill number.

Please contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative if you have any questions. We thank you for your cooperation.

December 22 Fee for dangerous goods that are not accepted comes into effect January 1, 2016

Safety is Air Canada’s top priority. Air Canada Cargo also prides itself in its expert handling of dangerous goods in compliance with regulatory requirements.

To maintain our standard of excellence with regards to the handling of dangerous goods and our commitment to safety, it is critical that all dangerous goods shipments be properly identified, classified, packed, marked, labelled, documented and be in condition for transport in accordance with the international dangerous goods regulations when tendered to Air Canada Cargo.

Effective January 1, 2016, Air Canada Cargo will charge a non-acceptance fee of $40 for all dangerous goods shipments tendered in Canada and the United States that do not pass the acceptance checklist, due to errors or omissions on the package(s) or documentation.

The fee will be charged and added to the air waybill when the unaccepted shipment is corrected and tendered again to Air Canada Cargo. This fee will be in addition to the regular dangerous goods acceptance fee.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and look forward to serving you soon. Please contact your local Air Canada Cargo representative if you have any questions

December 8 Shipping Small Vehicles Powered by Lithium Batteries

Safety is Air Canada’s number one priority. Air Canada no longer accepts small lithium-battery powered vehicles as checked or carry-on baggage given the potential safety risks associated with the size of the batteries that power them, which are classified as dangerous goods.

Small lithium battery-powered vehicles are commonly referred to as hoverboards, electric skateboards, airwheels, mini-segways and balance wheels.

UPDATE: Effective December 18, 2015, Air Canada Cargo will only accept these types of vehicles which are brand new, in the original manufacturers packaging that has not been opened or tampered with. If you are planning to travel with one of these vehicles, Air Canada Cargo may be able to help. Please contact our call center in Canada at 1-800-387-4865 or a local Air Canada Cargo representative in advance of your flight for more information on the very rigorous requirements for dangerous goods packaging, documentation and other requirements to ensure the safe shipment of your vehicle. Our experts can assist you in finding a solution and navigating the various booking, security and regulatory procedures. Certain restrictions may apply.

November 9 e-AWB: Preferred Method In Key Cities In 2016

We are pleased to inform you that we are switching over to electronic air waybill (e-AWB) as the preferred means of shipping cargo to all destinations by using the e-AWB Single Process at the following international stations:

• Amsterdam (AMS) - effective January 1
• Paris (CDG) - effective February 1
• Frankfurt (FRA) - effective February 1
• London (LHR) - effective March 1
• Zurich (ZRH) - effective March 1
• Milan (MXP) - effective March 1
• Dubai (DXB) - effective March 1

The e-AWB Single Process will enable you to tender your shipments without paper AWB. For destinations where a paper AWB might be required due to regulatory, operational, or other reasons, we will print the paper AWB for you, based on the air waybill data transmitted.

As we work towards our goal of moving away from paper air waybills, we encourage you, our customer, to take the necessary steps to join us in this effort that will result in multiple benefits for everyone involved in the air freight industry.

e-AWB: 2 EASY STEPS

1. Join the IATA Multilateral e-AWB Agreement. This agreement covers the terms and conditions found on the reverse side of traditional paper AWBs. See the IATA website for details.
2. Transmit air waybill data before cargo acceptance at the terminal. Data can be delivered using IATA's EDI Cargo IMP (FWB) messages or via web tool. This covers the front side of a traditional paper AWB.

e-BOOKING: A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Air Canada Cargo's new e-Booking tool is e-AWB compatible and makes online booking of cargo an easy proposition.

October 15 Booking Active Temperature Controlled Containers Just Got Easier

Last year, we introduced a simplified pricing for our AC Absolute° solution, and we hinted that more enhancements were coming.

We're pleased to announce that requests for AC Absolute° bookings can now be made online via a dedicated link on our new e-Booking tool.

JUST A CLICK AWAY

Once logged into the e-Booking tool, you can enter the specific requirements for leasing active containers (container type, size, quantity, set temperature, etc.) and the desired dates for the transportation of your shipment on a simple form.

After you submit a request, you will receive a message summarizing your order. You'll receive a final booking confirmation once the container is ordered and space is secured on the chosen flight.

TAKING YOUR BUSINESS FURTHER

This new function is part of a set of process enhancements we've introduced to AC Absolute°. Here's what you can continue to expect when choosing AC Absolute° and Air Canada Cargo:

• Simplified and competitive leasing rates for Envirotainer and CSafe containers
• Easy-to-read decision charts to help you determine when to order, which fees apply and when
• Expedited tarmac times
• Dedicated staff trained in quality handling of AC Absolute° shipments
• Full compliance with IATA regulations
• Growing network of AC Absolute° certified locations

We remain focused and dedicated to improving your customer experience for these highly specialized temperature-controlled shipments. You may also continue to reserve AC Absolute° shipments by calling your local Air Canada Cargo representative or call centre.

March 22 Air Canada continues to operate normal schedule following Aveos closure

Air Canada today assured customers that it continues to operate its normal schedule and that they can book and travel with confidence despite Aveos Inc.’s closure. The airline has identified qualified and government approved maintenance facilities in Canada and the U.S. to perform work previously done by Aveos.

The transition to new service providers is underway and will have no impact on customers. For example, three aircraft scheduled for maintenance this week will go to Canadian maintenance providers currently used by other Canadian and international airlines. In addition, arrangements are being made to complete the maintenance of the three aircraft remaining at Aveos facilities.

Aveos Fleet Performance Inc. (Aveos), a separate and independently owned and managed supplier to Air Canada, that provided maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to airlines, including Air Canada, filed for insolvency protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act(CCAA) earlier this week.

The closure of Aveos Inc's airframe, engine and component maintenance facilities has no impact on Air Canada’s day-to-day aircraft maintenance and repair activities, referred to as “line maintenance”. This work is performed directly by Air Canada at its own facilities across Canada - including Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto and Winnipeg - by Air Canada’s 2,300 maintenance employees. The airline typically performs its line maintenance activities overnight or between flights, as necessary.

For more information, visit www.aircanada.com.

March 8 No Disruption of Service at Air Canada

Canada’s Minister of Labour, the Hon. Lisa Raitt, has issued a referral pursuant to the Canada Labour Code, to determine the activities that Air Canada may be required to maintain as relates to the health and safety of Canadians.

As a result of this CIRB referral, the IAMAW cannot commence a strike and Air Canada cannot lock out its pilots, as indicated in a statement earlier today, at least until this matter has been determined by the Board. The strike deadline by the IAMAW and Air Canada’s lockout notice to ACPA, both originally scheduled for 00:01 am ET on Monday March 12, 2012, have therefore no effect.

There will therefore be no disruption of service and Air Canada’s full schedule remains unchanged.

We will continue to provide additional updates as they become available on www.aircanadacargo.com.

We thank our customers for their patience and loyalty during this time. Cargo customers should continue to book with confidence.

March 7 Air Canada Receives Strike Notice from the IAMAW to Take Effect March 12

Air Canada has been advised by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), representing the airline’s approximately 8,600 mechanics, baggage handlers and cargo agents in Canada, that it intends to begin labour action starting at 12:01 A.M. ET on Monday March 12, 2012.

"The lines of communication remain open and we are hopeful that there remains sufficient time to avoid a work disruption,” said Duncan Dee, Air Canada's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.  "We regret the uncertainty for our customers and we thank them for their patience and understanding.  This threatened job action follows the disappointing rejection of the unanimously recommended tentative agreement signed by the IAMAW bargaining committee following the federal mediation before the Honourable Madam Justice Louise Otis.”

Should a settlement not be reached and the IAMAW commences job action, the airline will endeavour to minimize inconvenience to its customers.

In the meantime, Air Canada continues to operate its normal schedule without disruption.

The airline will provide further updates as developments warrant. For additional information pertaining to passenger travel, please visit www.aircanada.com.

Thank you for your cooperation.
