The Cargo Agency Conference (CAConf) is the acknowledged leader in establishing standards and providing customer-driven distribution services to the cargo industry. The CAC deals with relationships between airlines and sales intermediaries involved with the selling and processing of international air cargo. It works at strengthening industry capabilities, promoting industry reputation and enhancing commercial success for both airline and agent participants.
