Welcome To FTAI

Established in 2010, Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTAI) was born out of an ambition by organisations in the freight distribution, logistics and passenger services sector to have an association that would provide them with UpToDate guidance and information on fleet operational compliance as well as represent their interests in a constructive and collaborator manner with key government agencies and stakeholders.

This focus on standards aids a cultural shift that protects the interests of employers and promotes the wellbeing of employees and makes our industry more attractive to new entrants. Our work on skills shortages (delivering two apprenticeships, Logistics Associate Apprenticeship and the Transport Operations and Commercial Driving Apprenticeship) Brexit, Covid Pandemic and decarbonising commercial fleets are a few examples of how we can support our members prepare and navigate the constantly changing operational environment to stay competitive and go from strength to strength
