TAMPA CARGO S.A. RECEIVES SECURITY CERTIFICATION
 
The airline was again certified by the U.S. customs authorities for its policies and safety procedures.

 

The airline Tampa Cargo SA was again certified by the United States C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) authority after the completion of a thorough inspection of its processes relating to cargo handling and customers, personnel hiring practices, security, information systems and technology.

The inspection was focused on the verification of compliance with various airline processes as defined in company manuals.

The CEO of AviancaTaca Holding S.A., Fabio Villegas Ramirez commented: "It is with great satisfaction that the Tampa team again receives this vote of confidence, which solidifies the airline's position as a leader in processes that guarantee security, as a prerequisite to all air and ground activities."

With this certification, Tampa demonstrates its strong commitment to cargo customers. Thanks to the airline's partnership with authorities customers can count on higher levels of security when transporting their goods.

About C-TPAT:C-TPAT is a joint initiative between the U.S. government and the private sector. Its objective is to build cooperative relationships that strengthen security throughout the supply chain and to enforce border security.
