Basic training is an essential factor in ensuring the efficient implementation of security measures by known consignors. The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) therefore prescribes the training of the companies’ security managers as a mandatory criterion for obtaining the status of known consignor.
Certification
The concepts of “Known Consignors” and “Regulated Agents” are intended to enable a secure supply chain of air cargo from the supplier to the airline. Air cargo consignments that are transported within this chain and do not leave this system until they are handed over to the ground handling company do not have to undergo systematic security controls. In contrast to unsecured airfreight consignments, consignments from known consignors are therefore not subject to any security checks for which there is a charge.
