International Air Transport Association (IATA)

IATA is an international trade body, created some 60 years ago by a group of airlines. Today, IATA represents some 230 airlines comprising 93% of scheduled international air traffic. The organization also represents, leads and serves the airline industry in general.

The International Air Transport Association -  was founded in Havana, Cuba, in April 1945. It is the prime vehicle for  inter-airline cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical  air services - for the benefit of the world's consumers.

The international  scheduled air transport industry is now more than 100 times larger than it was in 1945. Few industries can match the dynamism of that growth, which  would have been much less spectacular without the standards, practices and procedures developed within IATA.

Implement IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO), conducting at least 60 station audits and 8 headquarters audits.

Develop plan to address future airline training and qualification requirements.

Achieve a reduction of at least 6 million tones of CO2 from operations and infrastructure.

Implement a strategy to reach carbon neutral growth. Develop standards and guidelines for an industry carbon offset

programmed and pilot it with at least 6 airlines in four different regions. Achieve 100% E-Ticketing penetration in IATA Billing and Settlement

Plan (BSP) on 1 June 2008 and implement a program to eliminate remaining paper documents by developing an electronic multi-purpose document (EMD).

Ensure 130 airports offer Common Use Self-Service (CUSS) facilities by end 2008 and that 200 airlines are Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP)-enabled Implement e-freight pilots at 8 additional locations (14 total) by end 2008.

ACTIVITY

United Federation of Travel Agents' Association  (UFTAA)

The United Federation of Travel Agents’ Associations (UFTAA) emanates from the Universal Federation of Travel Agents’ Associations created in Rome, Italy, on

November 22nd, 1966. UFTAA was originally founded as a result of a merger of two large world organizations, FIAV and UOTAA, recognizing the need to unify travel agencies and tour-operators into one international federation. In 1989, coming from Brussels, UFTAA set up its General Secretariat in the Principality of Monaco.

UFTAA started its operation as a Confederation on January 1st, 2003. It is a non-profit Confederation of international scope, representing Regional Federations comprising some 80 national associations. To unite and consolidate the Federations of Travel Agents’ National Associations and to globally enhance the interests of their members

To represent the travel agents’ activities before various world-wide bodies, governmental authorities and suppliers.

To work towards the adoption of measures that will ease travel for the consumer and to offer services to its member federations.

Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA)

In March 1951, invitations were sent out for the conference, which was to be held in the first week of June, from the office of Hawaii's territorial governor, Ingram Stain back. Unfortunately many of the replies came in too late and the conference was postponed.

It was then in October 1951 that Thurs tin, who was in Paris attending a European travel conference, issued his now-famous cable to Mullahey: "Proceed to send invitations to governments and carriers to attend Pacific Area Travel conference for purpose of establishing permanent Pacific Travel Association and determine most convenient date for majority during first three months 1952."

PATA has been privileged to represent the travel and tourism industry of Asia Pacific for more than half a century. It is a region so vast and varied that one could spend a lifetime exploring it.  

ACTIVITYPATA promotes developing and facilitating travel to and within the

Pacific area region and the South-East Asia region including India. It provides the meeting point for all the people involved in the travel

trade and all the activities related to it from a large number of countries.

It assists small and upcoming destinations to develop their infrastructure, providing expertise, planning group travel schemes, destinations, hotels operations and discounts.

It provides up to date information on the field of tourism and the practical and theoretical experience in the field of tourism.

The annual conferences of PATA and its workshops provides greater scopes to its member to share their ideas and exchange views about tourism promotion in their respective countries.

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)

The consequence of the studies initiated by the US and subsequent consultations between the Major Allies was that the US government extended an invitation to 55 States or authorities to attend, in November 1944, an International Civil Aviation Conference in Chicago.

Fifty-four States attended this Conference end of which a Convention on International Civil Aviation was signed by 52 States set up the permanent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as a means to secure international co-operation an highest possible degree of uniformity in regulations and standards, procedures and organization regarding civil aviation matters.

At the same time the International Services Transit Agreement and the International Air Transport Agreement were signed.

The most important work accomplished by the Chicago Conference

was in the technical field because the Conference laid the foundation for a set of rules and regulations regarding air navigation as a whole which brought safety in flying a great step forward and paved the way for the application of a common air navigation system throughout the world.

ACTIVITY Ensure the safe and orderly growth to international civil aviation

throughout the world. Encourage the arts of the aircraft design and operation for the

peaceful purposes. Encourage the development of the railways, airports and

navigation facilities for ICAO. Meets the needs of the people of the world for safe regular

efficient, economical air transport. Prevent economic waste caused by unreasonable competition. Ensure that the rights of the contracting country has a fair

opportunity to operate international airlines Avoid discrimination between contracting countries Promote safety of flight in international air navigation Promote generally the development of all aspects of International

civil aeronautics

WARSAW CONVENTIONThe Warsaw Convention is an international convention which

regulates liability for international carriage of persons, luggage or goods performed by aircraft for reward.

Originally signed in 1929 in Warsaw (hence the name), it was amended in 1955 at The Hague and in 1975 in Montreal. United States courts have held that, at least for some purposes, the Warsaw Convention is a different instrument from the Warsaw Convention as Amended by the Hague Protocol.

In particular, the Warsaw Convention:mandates carriers to issue passenger tickets; requires carriers to issue baggage checks for checked luggage; creates a limitation period of 2 years within which a claim must be

brought (Article 29);

limits a carrier's liability to at most:

250,000 Francs or 16,600 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) for personal injury;

17 SDR per Kilogram for checked luggage and cargo, 5,000 Francs or 332 SDR for the hand luggage of a traveler.

The sums limiting liability were originally given in Francs (defined in terms of a particular quantity of gold by article 22 paragraph 5 of the convention). These sums were amended by the Montreal Additional Protocol No. 2 to substitute an expression given in terms of SDR's. These sums are valid in the absence of a differing agreement (on a higher sum) with the carrier. Agreements on lower sums are null and void.

On April 1,2007, the exchange rate was 1.00 SDR = 1.135 EUR or 1.00 SDR = 1.51 USD.

A court may also award a claiming party's costs, unless the carrier made an offer within 6 months of the loss (or at least 6 months before the beginning of any legal proceedings) which the claiming party has failed to beat.

MONTERIAL CONVENTION

The Montreal Convention, signed in 1999, will replace the Warsaw Convention system, once Montreal has been ratified by all states. Until then, however, there will be a patchwork of rules governing international carriage by air, as different states will be parties to different agreements (or no agreement at all).

The Montreal Convention (formally, the Convention for the

Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air) is a multilateral treaty adopted by a diplomatic meeting of ICAO member states in 1999. It amended important provisions of the WARSAW CONVENTION's regime concerning compensation for the victims of air disasters.

The Convention attempts to re-establish uniformity and predictability of rules relating to the international carriage of passenger, baggage and cargo. Whilst maintaining the core provisions which have served the international air transport community for several decades the new treaty achieves modernization in a number of key areas.

It protects passengers by introducing a two-tier liability system that eliminates the previous requirement of proving willful neglect by the air carrier to obtain more than US$75,000 in damages, which should eliminate or reduce protracted litigation

CHICAGO CONVENTIONThe Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as

the Chicago Convention, established under the (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations charged with coordinating and regulating international air travel. The Convention establishes rules of airspace, aircraft registration and safety, and details the rights of the signatories in relation to air travel. The Convention also exempts air fuels from tax.

The document was signed on December7, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, by 52 signatory states. It received the requisite 26th ratification on March 5, 1947 and went into effect on April 4,1947, the same date that ICAO came into being. In October of the same year, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The Convention has since been revised eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980, 1997, 2000 and 2006). Links to all versions of the document can be found in the external links section.

The original signed document resides in the National Archives of United States.
