NATA Claims Victory For All-Cargo Carriers

Says It's Ended TFR Confusion

NATA says its efforts to recognize the enhanced level of security provided by the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) have paid off for all-cargo carriers.

Most recent NOTAMs establishing Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for VIP security events contained language restricting commercial all-cargo operations to those carriers with a security program that meets or exceeds the Domestic Security Integration Program (DSIP). This language led to confusion as to whether the TFSSP meets or exceeds the DSIP standards. Some all-cargo TFSSP operators have even been denied departure clearances during TFRs due to this confusion.

"NATA has been working behind the scenes with officials at the Transportation Security Administration [TSA] and Department of Homeland Security for some time to ensure the ability for all-cargo carriers with the TFSSP to conduct operations during the Republican Convention and other VIP events that trigger TFRs," explained NATA vice president Eric Byer.

NATA has argued, and senior TSA staff members have officially agreed, that any all-cargo carrier operation conducted in full compliance with the TFSSP has achieved a level of security that meets or exceeds the DSIP.

"We have been repeatedly assured by the TSA that a TFSSP-compliant operation is permitted within the New York TFR," Byer explained.

Due in part to the concerns raised by NATA, the NOTAMs issued for the New York City area have adopted new phrasing further clarifying the subject. Those NOTAMs state that commercial all-cargo operations that meet or exceed the DSIP "or its equivalent" are permitted.

"We're pleased that our work has been successful and the ability of all-cargo carriers to carry on their business activities is further protected. This is a victory for every cargo carrier who has worked to ensure compliance with the TFSSP," Byer concluded.
