Free Webinar - Compassionate Transportation: All You Need to Know about the Transport of Human Remains by Air August 17, 2023 Fédération Internationale des Associations de Thanathologues – International Federation of Thanatologists Associations (FIAT-IFTA) is partnering with IATA (International Air Transportation Association) to host free webinars on September 5 and 7 titled “Compassionate Transportation: All You Need to Know about the Transport of Human Remains by Air.” Air transport has grown significantly and provides a globally connected network supporting businesses. At the same time the human population has become much more mobile with a consequential increase in the expatriate populations in many countries. For the next-of-kin this may mean that they wish to repatriate the remains for a funeral in the home country. The IATA “Compassionate Transportation Manual” constitutes a manual of standards, procedures and recommended practices to assist supply chain partners, freight forwarders, funeral directors and airlines in the transport of human remains. Join this webinar to: Get an introduction to the existing standards and requirements regarding the compassionate handling and transport of human remains. Learn how the funeral homes consolidate the documents and logistic requirements for international funeral shipping. Hear how an airline uses the CTM Checklist to ensure compliance. Ask your questions! Presenters are: Brendan Sullivan, Global Head of Cargo, IATA Andre Majeres, Head E-Commerce and Cargo Operations, IATA Lucy Exell, Manager Cargo Industry Program, IATA Emerson De Luca.
