Security

  • Since Sept. 11, 2001, IATA has been working with governments and its industry partners to ensure that new security measures are effective, globally harmonized and operationally manageable.
    A key component of that effort has been the formation of the Global Aviation Security Action Group (GASAG), which has brought together representatives from airlines, airports, airframe manufacturers, cockpit/cabin/ground staff, ICAO and INTERPOL to evaluate and recommend policies.
  • IATA facilitation services coordinate with the Immigration and Customs authorities in the U.S. and Canada on ways to move travelers more quickly and securely across international boundaries with maximum consideration of their privacy and convenience.
  • Simplifying Passenger Travel (SPT), an industry initiative managed by IATA, was established to safely, securely and efficiently integrate the use of new technologies, such as biometrics, to streamline the passenger travel experience.
