The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA)
International Air Transportation Association (IATA)
International air transport is one of the most dynamic and fastest-changing
industries in the world. It needs a responsive, forward-looking and
universal trade association, operating at the highest professional
standards. IATA is that association. IATA brings together approximately 265
airlines, including the world's largest. Flights by these airlines comprise
94 percent of all international scheduled air traffic. Since these airlines
face a rapidly changing world, they must cooperate in order to offer a
seamless service of the highest possible standard to passengers and cargo
shippers. Much of that cooperation is expressed through IATA, whose mission
is to "represent, lead and serve the airline industry".
