Roy Kinnear, Etihad Crystal Cargo’s Senior Vice President, Cargo said, “There is an increasing focus on global compliance relating to ACI and as security regulations are tightened, we are fully complying with governments worldwide. Following our long and successful partnership with CHAMP, the company will now assist us meet the January 1 deadline for EU ICS and pave the way to meet other existing and future ACI requirements.”

Etihad’s cargo business has been a customer of CHAMP for over five years and currently uses its cargo operating system, CRISTAL. The GCG provided by CHAMP will offer a seamless interface across both platforms for ACI.
