IATA manuals delivered in a versatile format made for ease of access and mobility. With the digital format, it's easier than ever for customers to access the content they need, when and where they need it. The format offers the flexibility and convenience to access IATA titles from all popular platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS and Android) across multiple devices (desktops, laptops and tablets), both online and offline.

IATA manuals are made available in an e-Reader solution called Bookshelf. Bookshelf Online is accessed through a browser. Manuals can also be accessed with the Bookshelf software application, installed on a computer or tablet. When you get your first IATA digital manual you'll create a Bookshelf account, and use that account whether using Bookshelf Online or the Bookshelf application.
