Relationship with other Associations

FIATA:- International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations . FIATA is the global representative organisation for our industry and is comprised of a number of ‘Institutes’’; ‘Advisory Bodies’; and Working Groups’ covering all aspects of international forwarding in all modes of transport. AFIF is an Association Member and actively contributes to working committees and disseminates information on issues affecting Freight Forwarding globally. Individual Freight Forwarding companies may also apply for Associate membership.

As a demonstration of our growing maturity, AFIF was extremely proud to host the 1998 FIATA World Congress, held at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in September 1998. This event brought together 1000 delegates from 67 countries deliberating on all matters of International Transport Logistics and was held in Australia for the first time. In expanding its involvement within FIATA, AFIF now has representatives on the working committee of the Airfreight Institute and has a Vice-President representing Asia-Pacific on the Extended Board of FIATA.
