GROUND SERVICE PROVIDERS IATA's CEIV (Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics) programs, to deliver the most efficient experience possible." IATA launched the program with SATS Singapore as the first CHF to be certified and Singapore Airlines as the first airlines to sign the ARC. IATA is extending the program by actively involving more airlines and CHFs, including sharing an explanatory video encouraging carriers to support the initiative. "The success of SFOC really depends on its AviationPros.com/10017340 22 GROUND SUPPORT WORLDWIDE APRIL 2020 acceptance by carriers, as they are the parties conducting audits," a Hactl spokesperson says. "Hactl fully supports the concept, which would reduce the number of audits to which it is subjected and reduce the cost to us and the parties originating those audits," the spokesperson continues. "Accordingly, we made our SuperTerminal1 facility available to IATA for the running of a pilot audit in 2018." Sullivan says the initial response to the SFOC program has been positive. "The member airlines of the IATA Cargo Advisory Council fully support the initiative to reduce redundant audit efforts for the industry," he says. "And CHFs welcome the introduction of the ARC, which gives clear visibility on how much audit reduction to expect for each supporting airline."http://www.globalgroundsupport.com http://www.AviationPros.com/10017340
