The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a trade association that represents around 300 airlines, accounting for 83% of total air traffic. The private company is based in Montreal, CA, and has a global presence of subsidiaries in several regions. The Canadian company provides carriers with a single dataset of airline sales, market, and itinerary data through its DDS. This data is aggregated from multiple sources, including data contributed by carriers, the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) transactions, and ARCs Area Settlement Plan (ASP) transactions, making it the most comprehensive and accurate of its kind. IATA supports many areas of aviation activity and helps formulate industry policy on critical aviation issues. William Matthew Walsh has been the CEO of the company since 2021.
