IATA, AT THE FOREFRONT OF AVIATION SECURITY

Security and safety are top priorities for IATA and its member airlines. IATA has defined 4 key priorities:

Closer government-to-government and industry cooperation to reduce the long-term challenges of extraterritorial measures
Universal implementation of ICAO's Chicago Convention, Annex 17 of global standards
Development of a platform for better information-sharing within public-private partnerships
Adoption and implementation of new and existing screening detection technologies

Over the years, IATA has launched many initiatives to favor the development of appropriate measures to current evolving trends. The AVSEC World Conference is one of them.
