Extract

Every Time I speak of “IATA” or use the term, I speak of it and its activity as a corporate body of member airlines. It is the member airlines of IATA who make and agree policies and accordingly it should be understood that it is never a separate entity.

IATA acts under direction, it is neither cartel nor employers’ association, nor is it charlatan in character. It has been maligned, misunderstood, misinterpreted, and yet there is little evidence that it has deviated from its aims and objectives—in one sentence—to ensure that all air traffic moves with the greatest possible safety, speed and efficiency and with the utmost economy for both airline and public.
