The following are the main requirements to join CNS CASS USA as a participating carrier:

  • Be registered with IATA for a valid 3-digit code and 2-letter identifier
  • Hold a valid flight Operating Certificate

The CNS General Sales Agent (GSA) program allows airlines with no administrative offices or bank accounts established in the United States to be integrated into CNS CASS USA.

How the GSA program works

The new GSA signs up for the CNS General Sales Agent/Represented Carrier Services Agreement and designates the new carrier. Upon authorization from the carrier, all services, administrative/accounting functions and billing transactions for the carrier are performed by the GSA with transparent operations from a customer's perspective.

The GSA program also enhances the value of CNS CASS USA by increasing the number of carriers, thereby reducing the overall costs to all participants.
