IATA calls on govt to work with air transport industry on restart plans


IATA director general and chief executive officer Alexandre de Juniac (pic) said the light at the end of the tunnel could be seen following the roll-out of vaccination programmes, but turning this vision into a safe and orderly re-start would require careful planning and coordination by governments and industry.

KUALA LUMPUR: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called on governments to partner with the air transport industry to devise plans to safely re-link people, business and economies when the Covid-19 medical situation permits.

It said accelerating the establishment of global standards for vaccination and testing certification is a priority for this critical cooperation.
