IATA-UPU-ICAO Webinar (Air Mail Safety) 2026-06-17
1h 30m
This joint IATA–UPU-ICAO webinar will focus on lithium batteries in
airmail, and their challenges. It is the first of two webinars planned for
2026 on the topic of enhancing safety and security. The key topic of the
webinar will address the potential danger of lithium batteries and their
transport by airmail; and the roles, concerns and regulations of each
organization. Other topics will include the facilitation of the safe and
secure transport of Class 7 (radioactive materials), to mitigate the issue
of denial and delay of shipments of radiopharmaceuticals, vital for
cancer diagnosis and treatment; and the de minimis requirements and
impact on air transport, the global de minimis trend, and the effective
implementation by DPOs and air carriers.
