New Security Directive Affects Non-U.S. Origin Cargo
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a new Security Directive effective 1700 GMT March 10, 2011. This Directive mandates changes in security measures applicable to cargo shipments originating, transiting, or transferring at all non-U.S. locations.
Continental Airlines Cargo continues to accept cargo from all our customers as we work with the TSA to validate the impact and ramifications of this Directive.
Compliance with the new Directive requires carriers to determine whether the forwarder/
consolidator’s customer has had an established account with the forwarder for at least one
year. Forwarders are required to attest to this relationship by submitting the following revised
MAWB statement:
“All shipments tendered on this Master Air Waybill were received from persons having an established account for at least one year with a physical shipping address and a payment, invoice, or credit history of at least one year.”
When possible, this statement should accompany the shipment at time of tender. The statement may be written on the air waybill or other shipment documentation or may be included on a separate document. The version of the MAWB Acceptance Statement required by previous Directives is no longer valid or required.
Separate security measures apply to shipments tendered by regulated agents who provide the statement above, and to cargo from unregulated agents or agents who do not provide the statement. United Cargo will continue to accept cargo tendered both with and without this statement, and will apply the appropriate security protocols.
We will issue further updates on this issue as the impact of the new Directive is clarified. If you have any questions on this issue, please contact your cargo sales manager. We appreciate your support and continued strong business relationship.

Uzbekistan Airways - Localization gone wrong
If you browse the Internet in search of examples when marketing materials were poorly localized, there will be plenty of them. As more and more people travel around the world, local airline companies are looking to attract those tourist/business dollars. Advertisement in foreign language is the only way for them to get their word out. Uzbekistan Airways in an attempt to lure the foreigners went ahead with their slogan being translated into English.
See what came out of that after the break.
We guess the original slogan of the company is wishing the traveler a pleasant travel, its translation makes you think twice before boarding the plane.

How safe is it to ship my pet by air?
A letter written by Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) calling on Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to review current regulations concerning the reporting of animal deaths on commercial airlines:
"While concerns about the reporting of pet fatalities voiced by Senators Menendez, Durbin and Lieberman are valid, changing the way airlines report the deaths of pets will not save lives in the long run."
"Our national focus should be on proactive ways to make pet travel safer and acknowledging that professional pet travel companies help pet owners avoid tragic mistakes, like using crates that are not adequately ventilated or booking pets on airlines that are not able to safely accommodate animals."
A special compartment in the cargo section, designed for Live Animals It is fully pressurized and same temperature as the passenger cabin. This area is VERY carefully monitored by the Captain and staff.
Yes, it does have some noise..
Pet owners can minimize these risks.
Major problems resulting in death or serious health issues result from: brachycephalic breeds of cats and dogs; and having the brachycephalic respiratory syndrome. Also, elderly pets. And, those having congenital or pre-existing health issues. These pets often have pre-existing heart disease resulting in pulmonary congestion and edema. Then, if a death occurs, one is often inclined to blame the airline.
Kennel construction is most often the problem with escapes, etc. Many kennels have very poor connection devices.
Many pet injuries occur when some pets scratch and try to escape. Pet shippers and airlines can NOT be responsible for highly agitated pets. If you have a pet that meets any of the above criteria as being a risk factor, just do NOT ship these pets.
Most reputable pet transportation companies are members of a group called the Independent Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA). The association regulates and monitors the pet transportation industry by setting ethics standards and overseeing the performance of their members. As part of their membership, pet shipping companies are given access to a network of pet transportation professionals globally who have guaranteed reputations for the services they provide.
How many pet owners are willing to use the services given by reputable IPATA members?
Due to IPATA's exacting standards for membership, affiliates are able to safely coordinate this specialized service for the most precious of cargo. As a way of bridging the gap often found in an international industry, IPATA also offers an annual conference where the members gather to meet and exchange ideas, attend classes on country import requirements and species-specific handling techniques, and attend forums where reps from major airlines come to answer questions in a round-table format. International requirements vary from country to country, so working with a quality pet transport or shipping company who is also up to date on the current import requirements is crucial.
The risk of extreme temperatures affecting the pet's safety is one of the other significant concerns among pet owners, many airlines will even embargo pets during the winter and summer months. But most reputable pet transportation companies work with airlines that have programs in place to keep pets in climate-controlled areas the entire duration of the flight. The pet is never exposed to extreme weather and this allows companies to transport pets all over the world year-round.
Some airlines are not adequately set up to take care of animals in the event that there is a delay or emergency. "Pet friendly" airlines have developed dedicated pet programs to care for their four-legged travelers that keep them in climate control not only while in the plane, but also while waiting to board. These airlines also have kennel facilities at their main hubs, where during layovers, all of the pets pet are checked on, watered and if necessary, served meals.

Seven dogs dead after American Airlines flight to Chicago
Flight 851 was an hour late taking off from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tuesday morning, according to Mary Frances Fagan, director of corporate communications for American Airlines.
The flight arrived at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 8:54 a.m. with 14 dog kennels on board. When ramp workers began the process of moving the dogs to the other flights, they noticed the animals looked "lethargic." They tried to cool them down. The animals were taken from the airport to a veterinarian. Seven dogs later died. 
The American Airlines website details rules for accepting dogs and cats on aircraft. Among them: "Temperature restrictions have been established to ensure animals are not exposed to extreme heat or cold in the animal holding areas, terminal facilities, when moving the animals between terminal and aircraft or on an aircraft awaiting departure."
The airline's website says pets cannot be accepted when the current or foretasted temperature is warmer than 85 degrees at any location on the itinerary.
The Dallas Morning News reported the temperature at Tulsa International Airport was already 86 degrees at 7 a.m. before the plane's departure, and 87 degrees at 8 a.m.

Sending pets as cargo requires preparation, and a profound knowledge of airlines, airports, customs rules and regulations - both in the country of origin and destination. Weather conditions, time of arrival, shuttle from the airport, flight kennels and boarding service are just a few more details to take into account.
