gradually..
By the end of the world war 1 in 1919 , The
International air traffic association was founded in
the hague..
It was also limited to a European dimension until
1939 when Pan American joined
Afterwards by the end of the world war 2 in 1945, the
international air transport association came as a
successor in april 1945 , and it is founded in havana ,
cuba .. which had at its founding 57 members from 31
nations mostly in Europe and North America
IT was considered as the prime vehicle for the inter-
air line cooperation in promoting safe and economical
air services
nowadays,The international scheduled air transport
industry became 100 times larger than it was in 1945
 The Early Days
Immediately after 1945( after the
end of the world war 2 ) IATA had
to handle worldwide
responsibilities with a more
systematic organization and a
larger infrastracture.

charges, holding regulators and
governments to account, and striving
for sensible regulation.

IATA's aim is to help airlines help
themselves by simplifying processes and
increasing passenger convenience while

groundbreaking Simplifying the Business
initiative is crucial in this area. Moreover,
safety is IATA's number one priority, and
IATA's goal is to continually improve safety
standards, notably through IATA's
Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). Another
main concern is to minimize the impact of
air transport on the environment.
