EBISS UK are accredited IATA Cargo Agents – but what exactly does this mean for you? The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing over 360 airlines accounting for some 85% of global air traffic, and working with them as a cargo agent ensures that EBISS can provide you with a better service in a number of key ways.
Because EBISS is an accredited IATA Cargo Agent, we book directly with airlines – no consolidators, no brokers, no unnecessary layers.
