Editing Road case (section)

== History ==
The history of flight case design is based on an airplane parts packaging specification. It was designed by airline packaging engineers. The specification is [[ATA 300]].{{efn|ATA is the A4A ([[Airlines for America]]) International, formerly the Air Transport Association of America located in Washington, D.C., and consists of members like Boeing, Airbus, FedEx, American, United, and JetBlue.}} Category I cases are designed to withstand a minimum of 100 round trips, Category II containers a minimum of 10 round trips, and Category III containers 1 round trip as defined to also include the return of a replacement part. Because of visibility requirements during nighttime airline operations, the recommended color of reusable cases is white, but the requirement is waived to permit a carrier's traditional or logo colors except for very dark colors. The first ATA 300 spec was published on August 1, 1960.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://airlines.org/|title=Airlines For America |publisher=airlines.org}}</ref>
