The Founding of IATA
IATA was founded in Havana, Cuba,
on 19 April 1945. It is the prime vehicle for inter-airline
cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical air
services - for the benefit of the world's consumers. The
international scheduled air transport industry is more than 100 times
larger than it was in 1945. Few industries can match the dynamism of that
growth, which would have been much less spectacular without the standards,
practices and procedures developed within IATA.
At its founding, IATA had 57 members from 31
nations, mostly in Europe and North America. Today it has some 280 members from
120 nations in every part of the globe.
The modern IATA is the
successor to the International Air Traffic Association founded in the
Hague in 1919 - the year of the world's first international scheduled
services.
