At the same time, the members of the IATA–UPU Contact Committee agreed to reinstate the Framework expert team, which, since then, has been holding bi-weekly remote meetings. In 2018, the latest version was endorsed by the IATA–UPU Contact Committee and, subsequently, by the relevant bodies of both organizations. It has been continuously improved and updated regularly since its creation. It was intended that this document become a standardized departure point for airlines and postal operators to formalize their commercial relationships. In order to improve the contractual process between air carriers and Posts, which had never formally standardised, resulting in a sometimes complex network of multiple bilateral agreements or, in some cases, no agreements at all, the joint IATA–UPU Contact Committee worked together to kick-start and draft the first version of the Framework for a Service Agreement in 2003. Over the course of the past years, the regular exchange of ideas, cooperation and numerous joint activities between various UPU bodies and the IATA Air Mail Board have resulted in many positive developments and have made it possible for both the air and postal industries to play a major part in the invaluable transformation brought about by e-commerce. As a direct result of this alliance, formal regulations, addressing issues of common interest to air carriers and Posts with regard to the transportation of mail by air, were developed and introduced into the UPU Convention and the 1999 Montreal Convention. Working together within a somewhat complicated operational environment, air carriers and Posts were nevertheless able to cultivate a mutually beneficial business alliance for many years. Since the very beginning of commercial aviation, mail has been carried on flights. The UPU and IATA Air Mail Board members achieve a new historic milestone UPU Publications: UPU Transport publications are important resources either to understand postal transport operations or to plan them. Transport Workshops: UPU and IATA Transport experts share the latest developments concerning postal transport in workshops carried out in various regions of the world to help designated postal operators with implementation of EDI exchange, improvement of Leg 2 performance and meeting all legal requirements. EDI interconnects posts and airlines, enabling the creation of an integrated end-to-end network that delivers an enhanced level of customer service through a managed supply chain. The UPU and several industry groups and international bodies are combining efforts to promote the correct use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages in order to overcome the transport challenges in terms of customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Safety and security are enhanced through the sharing of electronic data among the various transport stakeholders. Within the Global Postal Model, designated postal operators and mail carriers have roles and responsibilities to ensure that transportation of mail products is safe. It also works in direct collaboration with Rail Organizations through the UPU-Rail Contact Committee on matters relating to the international transportation of mail by rail. To achieve this goal, it works in direct collaboration with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), through the IATA-UPU Contact Committee. The Transport Group of the UPU Postal Operations Council examines matters relating to all modes of mail transportation. In addition, the quality of this transport and transit planning directly influences the quality of service. flights and transit arrangements) must be loaded into the dispatch system in a timely manner, so that when the origin office of exchange creates a receptacle label, the routeing information is included. There is added complexity because the operational network plan (e.g.
This can be a very complex task, especially considering the changeability of conditions: daily and seasonal mail volumes, flight schedules, aircraft capacities, office of exchange (OE) working hours, etc.
The staff responsible for defining the operational network for an origin Post must plan transport and transit, also called "Leg 2 – Transportation", to every country in the world, and do so such that it is logical for every day of the week and every season of the year, both for priority mail and non-priority mail.
In virtually every country, customers can mail letters, packets and parcels to any other country in the world, every day.
