How do I switch to e-AWB? Just follow the Single process.

1. Sign the Multilateral e-AWB agreement (MeA)
It´s simple, it starts by signing the Multilateral e-AWB Agreement (MeA) with IATA on their website.
By signing the agreement, freight forwarders (or shippers) and airlines confirm their intention to use e-AWBs instead of paper AWBs.

2. Activation Notice sent by airline
When the Multilateral e-AWB Agreement (MeA) has been counter-signed by IATA please inform us. We can then verify that the quality of your FWB messaging is sufficient for e-AWB. We will then send you an Activation Notice.

3. Start e-AWB
From the moment you receive the Activation Notice, you can replace all paper AWBs with e-AWB. If a paper AWB is still required at any final destination, we the airline will print one according to IATA rules.

Ways you can send FWBs:
