Airlines
The airline sector has to meet the requirement for complete, accurate and timely data.
Why THE AIR CARGO INDUSTRY
Chooses Hurricane

Huge Opportunity
Global trade presents a huge opportunity for the airline sector.
According to Statista, a conservative estimate is that the cross-border B2C eCommerce market could grow to $7.9 trillion by 2030.
With almost 10 billion cross-border shipments a year, compared to just over 3 billion in 2015, the opportunity for the sector is too great to miss out on.
To succeed will require the adoption of true vertical AI tech offering the speed and accuracy that is necessary to effectively manage the volumes involved in this sector.
A tech-driven approach enables businesses to accommodate customer growth without increasing overhead costs, facilitating seamless expansion in global trade.
PLACI: The global data requirement
To meet the ever-increasing security threats, authorities around the world are actively enhancing their cargo security programs. This International Air Transport Association (IATA) regime is known as PLACI (Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information).
Aimed at the safety of people and goods, these security programs take a risk management approach based on the provision of Advance Electronic Data (AED).
Some PLACI programs, such as the European Union’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2), are demanding specific data elements such as a mandatory HS Code.
The current PLACI programs include:
- United States (US) – ACAS (Air Cargo Advance Screening)
- European Union (EU) – Import Control System (ICS2)
- Canada (CA) – PACT (Pre-load Air Cargo Targeting)
- United Kingdom (UK) – PreDICT (Pre-Load Data Informed Cargo Targeting)
- United Arab Emirates (UAE) – National Advance Information Center (NAIC)
Historically, the data for cargo shipments has not always been timely or accurate. There are now many cases of a lack of the right data resulting in shipments being held or rejected.
