The International Air Transport association (Iata) has called for the further strengthening of aviation security.
Iata director general and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac, said this could be done by addressing four key areas, namely, government-to-government cooperation; universal application of global standards; better information sharing; and the efficient implementation of new and existing technology capabilities.
“We cannot predict the next security challenge, but some things we do know for sure,” he said. “Our common defence is stronger when governments and industry work together and if we can avoid long-term extraterritorial measures, focus on global standards, share information and develop technology efficiently, our hand is strengthened even further.”
