Sullivan said, “Recent security incidents highlight the need for better coordination

among governments. Aviation safety cannot be built on fragmented or reactionary

measures. Global standards and cooperation between nations are essential to
enhance safety.”

IATA reiterated its call on countries to fulfil their obligations under Annex 17 by

sharing accurate and timely intelligence on threats, to enable effective risk
assessments and operational decision-making.

According to IATA, progress is being made on carbon emissions reduction, which

remains the greatest environmental challenge facing the sector. Sustainable

aviation fuel is witnessing increasing demand, with new agreements being signed

across the value chain, yet the volumes of sustainable fuel used remain far below
the required levels, and production costs remain high.

IATA called on governments worldwide to adopt policy frameworks to enhance

sustainable fuel production and reduce its costs.

Amid growing trade disruptions, IATA highlighted the role trade plays in fostering

prosperity and emphasised the negative impact of measures that hinder the

smooth flow of goods, which harm businesses, consumers, and the economy.
