Word. Facilitation Sums Up Airlines Battle With Red Tape

By CLAUDE HENAULT MONTREAL CP Facilita- tion 18 a word which sums up

the airline industry's -complex battle to break loose.from the « governmental red tape which ensnaris it In 1946, the- International Air Transport Association. and : the International ©iw Aviation. Or- ganization” set up facilitation services aimed at cutting away unnecessary government im- posed paper-work which = in-

creased’ travelling time of pas-

sengers and baggage and raised transport cests. *

In 1946, a passenger on a flight hetween North America and Furope would spend two.to . three hours in terminals at de- parture and arrival points

Today, this time has been cut to about an hour, but, an [ATA apokesman said, this ¢an_= still he ‘‘quite intolerable’ -when one considers the much higher apeed of the” actial erasing

Asked why IATA was handling this problem rather than the air-

lines themselves, a spokesman

said _ that many airlines are ewned bv the government and can't point a finger” so. it’s much easier for an. outside agency to come. in ard suagcest needed chances FIRST STEP AN 1949

In 1949 the first step towa d facilitation was” made~-with~ the ereation of a vf standards and recommended practices govern ] nce for lities m air { sport These sta ds have heen ré- viewed and ered reg rl

Governments participating in the creation of-the first set-of _ regulations advo ated a 20-\tem card wh vould he completed hy passenger at’ the tart or end of an ternational flight

Today the card has only seven items on it

For tourists. as against a re- turneng resdent or an immi- gmant, the procedure has been reduced st further in many countries. Some. now require no information items at all

However, IATA says some pa- per sork theoretically elimi- nated hy -gavernments has in fart an heen passed on to the arrline’s

Many, Latin American -eoun-

CHECK BAGGAGE j

Another 1946 time-waster was the customs’ baggage dectara- tion At that time, travellers were—reqi red—tea fil in-a—form listing all their baggage

Today, in 75 per cent of alt countries, a ‘verbal declaration is al] that is required and eus- toms inspection of baggage is no—longer_general,

\Side from passenger facilita- the’ airlines also wanted to make things easier for them- selves, thus reducing costs. In 1946 airlines had to fill in hun- dreds ° of separate clearance documents for the nearly 200 countries in which they te

Today, this has been rediieed to three simplified ferms, the aircraft general declaration and

the passenger and cargo -mani-,

fests

This. passenger manifest.-a record of passengers aboard the aircraft—is the latest target of the facilitation squad IATA

Correct design of airports so that all passengers must pass through check points is a sim- plier. and much more efficient method of controlling passenger movements, IATA says

To date, 41 countries. have dropped the passenger manifest but, an IATA spokesman said, the airline must prepare mani- fests at every stop along a route if only one government on a

Shipment of plants and ani- mals is also a problem- An IATA spokesman said airlines are often required to carry with the cargo certificates from both the country. of origin and the country of destination

A further problem is that of communication with govern- menis on health matters. Air- ,lines often are unaware of, regu- lations governing required in- jections or disinfecting proce- dure. “
