Strategic Partners Testimonials

 

"IATA is an extremely important organization for the global airline industry. Through our involvement as Strategic Partners, we believe we are supporting our airline customers globally. We joined the Program not only to have the interface with our customers and with IATA leadership, but to be able to have a voice in the key strategic issues that face our industry."
John Plueger, CEO & President
Air Lease Corporation

"As IATA Strategic Partners, the value that we get is engaging and networking with individuals, understanding the key issues the industry is facing and chalking the path to work with different partners and develop propositions that benefit the industry. We are keen to engage with industry players, understand what their concerns are and collectively co-create future pathways."
Raman Ojha, President
Shell Aviation

"The IATA AGM is our most valuable global networking event of the year. It is the pre-eminent airline industry event, I do not think there is a better, more comprehensive event globally. For Carlyle, it is an opportunity to sit down with airline management and leadership from around the world, to talk about our mutual areas of potential cooperation and existing business."
Alexander Rasnavad, Managing Director, Chief Commercial Officer
Carlyle Aviation Partners

 

"As Strategic Partners, we benefit from being members of IATA working groups such as data, which is a fundamental tenet for Microsoft, especially in the AI age. It is important for us to understand where the airline CEOs want to go and where IATA is going with their industry standards."
Julie Shainock, Managing Director, Travel, Transport & Logistics (TTL)
Microsoft Corporation

"The IATA AGM is a perfect platform to get a feel for the temperature of the industry and connect with future and existing partners. I try to calibrate my compass based on the IATA AGM, to get an understanding of where we can support the industry. There are a lot of insights provided by IATA that we use, and we can get immediate feedback on business decisions we are making."
