IATA e-freight: Introduction
       The air freight supply chain faces increasing challenges:
        Customers want, faster speed, lower costs and more reliability 
        Regulators want more security and demand more information 
        Slowing economic growth means less revenue
        One way to meet these challenges is to migrate from a paper based process to a 
          data driven process for transportation of goods
        IATA e-freight is taking the paper out of air cargo and replacing it with electronic 
          messages
