Airlines, freight forwarders and shippers can now gain faster access to the latest regulations and information for the carriage of dangerous goods by air with the launch of "DG Online" by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), and Official Airline Guide Cargo, a division of UBM Aviation (OAG Cargo).
DG Online combines the industry's leading publications in an online format: The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Manual (DGR), the ICAO Technical Instructions (TI), and the ICAO Emergency Response Guidance manual (ERG), said the OAG statement.
DG Online features rapid referencing of all standards, advanced search functions by substance, subject/classification or by United Nations (UN) code, upcoming multi-language support, access to IATA Airline variations and ICAO State variations, and real-time updating of the latest revisions of standards directly from IATA and/or ICAO.
Users can store favourites and create and print customised checklists to ensure packing and regulatory compliance and for the acceptance of shipments containing dangerous goods.
A free 30-day trial of DG Online can be accessed at www.dgonline.aero
"This partnership brings together three of the most trusted global organisations in aviation and provides a new way of working for DG professionals," said Dirk De Rooij, vice president of OAG Cargo (www.oag.com) which provides essential aviation data, analytics, marketing and consulting services, network planning and route development from its comprehensive airline schedules, fleet, flight status, MRO and cargo logistics database.
