Company officials told the media here that the IBS system would manage the new cargo terminal at Tokyo International Airport, also known as Haneda Airport.

iCargo’s CTO module will provide the Haneda airport a wide range of web-enabled features from reserving airway bills to manifesting the shipment on a flight on the export, to receipt of cargo from the airline on the import, to final delivery of the shipment to the consignee.

The system provides for guidance and control of trucks, critical to managing influx of transport and supports radio communications through hand-held terminals, thereby improving productivity and service levels.

“With Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) and All Nippon Airways (ANA), two of Japan’s leading carriers, having already placed their confidence in iCargo to manage their cargo businesses, this deal with TIACT highlights the growing acceptance of IBS’ new-generation cargo solutions in Japan, one of the principal markets for the global air cargo business. We see this as a major opportunity to provide added value to airports’ operations and establish a new standard for the efficient integration of airport cargo terminal operations with the cargo business of airlines,” said VK Mathews, chairman and CEO, IBS Group.
