The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced that it has finished its yearly revision of its manuals for operations, ground handling and cargo in the air transport sector. IATA is the global representative body for the airline industry. The updating of the manuals displayed, the association noted, the sector’s determination to further improve safety, adopt more sustainable operations, enhance cargo handling, and enhance the experience of airline passengers. “Aviation is a unique industry with its global footprint covering operations from mega-hubs, through regional airports to small and even remote airfields,” pointed out IATA senior VP for Commercial Products and Services Frederic Leger. “Nevertheless, the same standards and procedures need to be applied across the globe, in order to maintain smooth operations and a high level of safety. The IATA manuals are the reference materials, accurately reflecting agreed global standards, which the industry abides by.”
