SITA and International Air Transport Association (IATA)

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is an international trade body created 60 years ago by a handful of airlines. Today, it has 230 member airlines, representing 93 percent of scheduled international air traffic. Its main roles are industry advocacy and standard setting.

IATA's executive offices are in Geneva. The organisation is a member of SITA.

IATA’s current priorities include:

1. Safety
2. Environment
3. Simplifying the Business
4. Cost saving

SITA plays a role in each of these areas.

Through our joint-venture, Champ Cargosystems, SITA participates in the Cargo Services Strategic Partnership Programme.

SITA and IATA also collaborate on many other common interests, including organising and sponsoring industry events. We also help IATA identify areas where technology can benefit the air transport industry.
