ITC – the road transportation arm of Dublin-based IAM Group – is building on the success of its core airfreight road feeder business, with the addition of nationwide general-, specialised- and temperature-controlled transportation. For general traffic, ITC now offers same day, next day and timed deliveries, employing vehicles ranging from small vans to artics.
It will collect or deliver any consignment – whether palletised, loose cargo or full load - to or from key points in the Republic or Northern Ireland. ITC can often consolidate larger shipments to offer customers the benefit of shared vehicle costs. It also provides related services such as storage at its Dublin, Shannon, Cork and Belfast airport facilities, and build-up or breakdown of air- and ocean containers.
Translogic Limited, the specialist training subsidiary of the International Airline Marketing Group, is celebrating a successful first year in management consultancy, following the launch of Translogic Consultancy Services (TCS) in 2007.
TCS was created to provide corporate clients with a wide array of services spanning strategic direction, business planning, systems, HR, financial management and sales and marketing. TCS handles re-engineering of existing companies, feasibility studies and implementation of new operations both for Irish-based and overseas clients.
Two American Airlines (AA) Cargo GSAs are now able to send FFR (space reservation request) messages to the airline direct from their computer systems, and receive automated FSU (freight status update) messages whenever the shipment’s status changes.
The GSAs – IAM in Ireland and Fly Us BV in the Netherlands – both use the Aircountability for Cargo system developed by DABS. The new FFR facility represents an upgrade to the system’s existing ability to send manual FSR (freight status request) messages to AA, which trigger an FSA (freight status answer) to provide postflight information.
IAM, Ireland’s largest cargo GSSA, reported a market-beating performance in 2007 for the 14 airlines it represents. But the weak US dollar, over-capacity to China and Ireland’s loss of some hi-tech manufacturing are already creating a mixed picture for 2008.
In 2007, IAM’s total tonnages were down less than 1 per cent against 2006, despite the overall Irish airfreight market shrinking by 14%. Star performances came from American Airlines (up 8%), El Al (up 29%), Kuwait Airways (up 29%) and South Africa Airways (up 14%). Traffic to Japan remained stable against 2006, despite a market fall of 45%.
23 lucky ladies from the Dublin Airport cargo scene were on hand at The Movies @ Swords Pavillions, courtesy of American Airlines and its Irish General sales Agent, IAM, to witness the return of Sex In the City, at the long-awaited movie’s first Dublin screening.
Four years after production of the iconic TV series ended, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) are back - in an update of their tale of romance and the fashion-obesessed single woman in New York.
Dublin-based International Airline Marketing (IAM) – Ireland’s largest airline general sales agent – is celebrating the success of three of its airline clients in the prestigious Cargo Airline of the Year Awards, staged by Air Cargo News. This year’s awards attracted over 19000 votes from freight forwarders in around 90 countries.
IAM clients won no less than three of the seven regional awards: South African Airways was named Best African Cargo Airline, American Airlines was voted Best North American Cargo Airline, and Jet Airways was dubbed Best Central Asian Cargo Airline.
