The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the global trade association for the airline industry, representing hundreds of carriers worldwide across passenger and cargo markets. It develops and maintains standards that enable safe, secure, and efficient air transport, including operational practices, interline settlement systems, and widely used airline and airport codes. IATA also provides industry data, economic analysis, and policy advocacy on issues affecting aviation.
For the chemical and fuels sector, IATA is a key stakeholder in the aviation energy transition. The association collaborates with airlines, fuel producers, airports, and regulators to advance fuel quality assurance, supply chain safety, and the scaling of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Through guidance, market analysis, and policy engagement, IATA supports harmonized practices and investment signals needed to expand low-carbon aviation fuels while maintaining stringent safety and handling standards for jet fuel worldwide.
