Asia's first DG Autocheck
All Nippon Airways (ANA) is the first airline in Asia to implement DG Autocheck Connect API, the newest feature of Iata's DG Autocheckblank.
It will help digitalise the air cargo industry by automating the transfer of data from DG Autocheck, an electronic verification system for dangerous goods declarations based on the regulations provided by Iata, into its international cargo system.
DG Autocheck converts the dangerous goods declaration forms received from shippers or air cargo agents into data. ANA aims to align with Iata's goal of digitising all paper-based information in air cargo transports (e-freight) to achieve consistent data exchange and processing industry-wide.
Operations will begin at Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda and Osaka Kansai airports, with plans to roll out the software in other airports at a later date. (cj)
