International Air Transport Association

International trade association for airlines

The International Air Transport Association (IATA eye-AH-tuh) is an airline trade association founded in 1945. IATA has been described as a cartel since, in addition to setting technical standards for airlines, it has also organized tariff conferences that served as a forum for price fixing. According to IATA, the trade association represents 370+ airlines as of 2026, including major carriers, from over 120 countries.
