FoMbA for starters
The International Post Corporation’s Future of Mail by Air initiative (FoMbA) is working with airlines and posts to find solutions that will benefit both industries. The initiative aims to transfer the traditional business processes between posts and passenger carriers into a professional customer supplier relationship and over time even into a business partnership, which helps to improve visibility of mail in transport at a lower overall operating cost.
