Accredited Air Cargo Agent (AACA) Scheme

The Accredited Air Cargo Agent (AACA) Scheme extends the existing Regulated Air Cargo Agent (RACA) Scheme to cover smaller operators with less complex business operations, such as couriers and contract drivers. Both Schemes apply to cargo to be carried on an aircraft from anywhere in Australia.

Air cargo security

The Australian Government has introduced security measures that require air cargo to be security cleared before it can be loaded on an aircraft. These measures place specific requirements on businesses that security clear, handle or make arrangements for the transport of international and domestic air cargo.
