Handler SATS extends dangerous goods deal

Air Cargo handler SATS has signed a three-year agreement with IATA to expand the rollout and implementation of DG AutoCheck compliance solution for dangerous goods shipments at key stations. It follows SATS’ acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services. The expanded agreement will facilitate the adoption of DG AutoCheck across the combined SATS and WFS network, which now operates over 215 stations in 27 countries. DG AutoCheck is an automated compliance solution that optimises dangerous goods acceptance processes. It replaces manual cross-references of the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods and IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations to help eradicate errors that may lead to shipment rejections, fines, and penalties for non-compliance.
