Reservations
Wexco will operate dedicated telephone lines as
required, answering in airline name, in order to
ensure the promotion of the airline's individual
identity.
Post
Flight Information
Wexco can automatically provide post-flight
information for all shipments. This facility was
originally introduced as part of the program to
develop JAT’s profile in Australia, but has
since proven such a valuable selling point that
it is now offered as an integral part of our
representation package.
Tracing and Claims
Wexco prides itself on its exhaustive enquiry
system for delayed or missing cargo. This has
proven popular with agent customers, who know
they receive first-rate attention. Wexco would
look to provide a hyperlink from its web, used
by the agents to the client's system for on-line
track and trace of cargo.
Where claims are
made, these will be dealt with professionally
and promptly. We will assist the airline's
central claims department with full reports as
required.
Invoicing
If and when required, invoices can be raised
either in the airline's name or in Wexco’s.
Wexco will maintain prompt billing for all cargo
carried where an invoice is required.
CASS
Wexco is a member of CASS and represents
airlines within CASS. Wexco ensures the best
interest of airlines is communicated at all
meetings. Wexco has been a regular participant
of CASS meetings and is in receipt of all CASS
SITA messages concerning day-to-day operations
in relation to the agents.
Upon receipt of CASS accounts, Wexco will check
to ensure all waybills are correctly billed and
payment into the customer's account has been
made properly. The original copies of all CASS
reports will be forwarded in hard copy or
electronic format and any situation requiring
amendments will be clearly identified.
Revenue Accounting
Wexco provides monthly computer reports
supplying information on bookings detailing
agent, air waybill number, flight, date, origin,
destination, IATA or CASS charges, agreed
freight charges, handling charges, collect
disbursements, commission total due. Wexco’s
total accounting service will reduce airline
involvement to checking monthly statements of
revenue and commission before funds are
transferred.
Air Waybill Stock
Control
Wexco distributes waybill stock to all accepted
IATA/CASS agents throughout Australia in
consultation with the airline, and will provide
regular reports on stock
in-hand/distributed/used and unused.
Handling
Wexco will, on request, supervise the setting up
of all necessary arrangements for receiving and
transport throughout Australia, and for handling
at departure airport.
By taking extra
care with accuracy of flight panning Wexco has
generally found that ramp-side presence is an
unnecessary expense; however, this resource can
be provided if required. Wexco has developed a
professional working relationship with the
various companies that provide airline handling
in Australia; Qantas, Virgin and Australian Air
Express. We have been able to ensure proper
loading of booked freight by working in
conjunction with these handlers.
Pre-Flight Liaison
Wexco will
pre-advise the first point of arrival airport
office, or nominated alternate, of the amount of
cargo planned for each flight. A copy of this
report will also be sent to the receiving
station. Wexco also sends a message to the
ground handling’s load assembly unit to advise
of what cargo and equipment is to be loaded on
that particular service.
Sixth Freedom Traffic
Wexco is highly experienced in dealing with
large volumes of sixth freedom cargo changing
flights at the principal’s hub. A simple
four-point discipline ensures that such traffic
is dealt with as efficiently as possible, and
that the agent confidence in the hub is boosted.
This is the proven system which will be operated
on all flights:
-
Wexco
establishes booking with your central hub
reservation department through use of your
computer reservations system or via
fax/email
-
On the day
before onward departure, messages are sent
to your central reservations and airport
operations confirming relevant details of
consignment(s).
-
Wexco checks
on computer or if not available requests
confirmation from the hub’s operations
department of on-forwarding or off-load.
-
After flight,
Wexco sends advice to all agents confirming
departure or, in the case of off-loads, the
proposed new flight details.
Statistics
If required, Wexco provides a comprehensive
monthly analysis of shipments, weights and
volumes to each destination, showing
year-on-year performance. |
