Environmental Policy

In partnership with industry stakeholders and governments, IATA is focused on developing sensible environmental policies to enable sustainable and eco-efficient air transport. IATA advocates that as a global industry, aviation requires global solutions developed through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). IATA’s Environment Committee (ENCOM) and its task forces, provides environmental policy advice, ensuring airline views are represented at meetings and in ICAO decisions.

IATA encourages the use of voluntary initiatives to address environmental impacts from aviation and promotes the use of industry best practices where possible. Voluntary initiatives can be tailored to the specific needs of governments, industry and other stakeholders. They can provide more flexibility and cost savings than regulatory measures, especially market-based measures.
