Overview of ATAG

 

What is ATAG?

The Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) brings together organisations and companies throughout the air transport industry that are committed to achieving infrastructure improvements and addressing the environmental challenges that are facing the industry. ATAG is the only global association that represents all sectors of the air transport industry.

ATAG is a not-for-profit association with members that include airports, airlines, airframe and engine manufacturers, air navigation service providers, airline pilot and air traffic controller unions, chambers of commerce, tourism and trade partners, ground transportation and communications providers.

ATAG has some 70 members worldwide. Its funding members are Airbus, Airports Council International (ACI), Boeing, the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), CFM International, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and Rolls-Royce.

 

How it works

ATAG is based in Geneva, Switzerland. It has a worldwide mandate set by its funding members, and is active at national, regional and international levels. By working proactively and by representing such a broad spectrum of industry players, ATAG is recognised as a credible source of information, enabling it to better position air transport with governments, intergovernmental bodies and interested parties.

ATAG has compiled a wide range of information, data and forecasts, which are distributed through ATAG’s brochures and website: www.atag.org.

ATAG also organises highly-respected global events like the annual Aviation & Environment Summit – the only event that brings together key decision-makers from throughout the entire aviation sector worldwide to discuss major environmental challenges. The 3rd Aviation & Environment Summit is being held in Geneva, Switzerland on 22-23rd April 2008, visit: www.environment.aero
