Purpose

The Fraud Prevention Strategic Partnerships Program brings together fraud prevention solution providers, airlines, and IATA experts to address emerging fraud threats, strengthen industry resilience, and advance best practices across the airline ecosystem. Strategic Partners gain opportunities to share expertise, contribute to industry guidance, and engage on fraud prevention priorities.

Fraud Prevention Strategic Partnerships Summary 

 

Fraud continues to evolve in both sophistication and scale, creating significant challenges for airlines, travel sellers, payment providers, and industry stakeholders. Emerging fraud schemes, account compromise, payment fraud, loyalty fraud, synthetic identities, and increasingly advanced attack methods are driving the need for greater collaboration, intelligence sharing, and proactive risk management across the aviation sector. 

The Fraud Prevention Strategic Partnerships Program provides participating organizations with exclusive access to industry intelligence, expert engagement opportunities, collaborative initiatives, and forums focused on addressing current and emerging fraud threats. Strategic Partners gain a deeper understanding of airline priorities, fraud trends, evolving threat landscapes, and leading prevention approaches while strengthening their visibility and engagement within the global aviation community. 

As airlines continue their journey toward Modern Airline Retailing with Offers and Orders, digital payment adoption, and increased customer personalization, effective fraud prevention will become increasingly critical to protecting revenues, customer trust, operational efficiency, and business growth. This program provides Strategic Partners with a unique opportunity to stay at the forefront of these developments and support the continued evolution of fraud prevention in air transport.
