Airline Services

IATA Settlement Systems (ISS) are the backbone of the global air transport industry. They enable the swift, reliable, and efficient movement of funds between airlines and their travel partners. In 2017, the ISS settled $433.3 billion.

In 2017, the unrecovered debt target was 0.023%, while the actual performance exceeded that target to reach 0.015%. IATA will still continue to strengthen systems with its transition to New Gen ISS.
