Strategy for profitable growth in Latin America

IATA announced (24-Mar-2010) an industry strategy for profitable growth in Latin American aviation, outlining specific recommendations on priorities for Latin American aviation including:

• Safety: Governments encouraged to make Latin America the first region where both of IATA's flagship audits-IOSA and the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations-are a mandated standard requirement;
• Security: Replacement of airport-by-airport approach with regional partnerships that spread best practices. [more]

IATA: "Profitable growth requires that all aviation stakeholders in Latin America-airlines, airports and infrastructure providers- work with a common vision to achieve our priorities: safety, security, cost reduction, environmental responsibility and liberalization."
