International Air Transport Association (IATA)

What is IATA

IATA, the International Air Transport Association is the intermediary between all the airlines in the world. Its
major task is to ensure proper management of air traffic across several countries. It controls the traffic for over
200 airlines across countries to date since its inception in 1945.
The IATA, now one of the biggest air transport associations is headquartered in Canada.

The IATA deals with four things when it comes to airlines:

•The security of the passengers on board or at the airports, is an essential element of travelling, also given the
increasing terrorism and hijacking of planes. The IATA ensures that there is tight security across the airlines that
it has under its wings, to prevent any further terrorist attacks or hijacking like the 9/11.

•Air pollution is an increasing cause of a number of ailments, and airplanes contribute to the majority of it.
Following the awareness of air pollution, the IATA, in collaboration with airlines, works on promoting and
establishing a more energy efficient and environment friendly model and working of airplanes.

•The safety of the passengers is another element that the IATA focuses on. Air traffic control is one of the major
tasks of the IATA. It works towards establishing air routes to avoid traffic and air accidents while also ensuring
that the onboard following of rules and regulations is carried out properly.

•The IATA has numerous courses under its wings on travel and tourism, aviation, etcetera., for aspiring
individuals. They provide you with certificates that are applicable globally, and the courses are one of the most
