New airline cargo contract raises liability risk, logistics providers say

Logistics providers are up in arms over a recent change in the International Air Transport Association's shipping documents, which they claim unfairly places more liability on them for certain shipments. This shift in legal language has raised concerns among freight forwarders about potential increased risk and financial exposure. The change could lead to higher costs and tensions in the supply chain, as companies scramble to adjust to the new terms and ensure compliance without compromising safety or service. This move highlights a growing tension between airlines and logistics providers over responsibility and accountability in the global shipping industry.
