IATA initiatives in Air Traffic Management (ATM) have been developed in cooperation with the relevant authorities and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). An even closer working relationship will enable the industry to realize significant operational benefits.
ATM & CNS Advocacy
IATA works relentlessly at the structural and operational level towards advocating for the implementation of a globally harmonized and interoperable ATM framework. This includes collaboration with key industry partners such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to influence global standards and drive towards a safer, more efficient and sustainable operational environment.
