Uniting Air Cargo

Stronger together is TIACA’s philosophy: we partner for growth, for change, for success, for impact and for innovation.

TIACA is an international association representing and uniting all parts of the air cargo industry on common interests. TIACA serves an industry with multiple stakeholders and many priorities to tackle. Collaboration and partnerships are important because we cannot be strong when isolated.

Air cargo safety, security, reliability, profitability, digital transformation, and sustainability can only be achieved through collaborative efforts.
