What is IATA
IATA, the International Air Transport
Association is the intermediary between all the
airlines in the world. Its major task is to
ensure proper management of air traffic across
several countries. It controls the traffic for
over 200 airlines across countries to date since
its inception in 1945.

• The IATA, now one of the biggest air transport
  associations is headquartered in Canada. 
• The IATA deals with four things when it comes to
  airlines
• The security of the passengers on board or at the
  airports, is an essential element of travelling,
  also given the increasing terrorism and hijacking
  of planes. The IATA ensures that there is tight
  security across the airlines that it has under
  its wings, to prevent any further terrorist
  attacks or hijacking like the 9/11.
• Air pollution is an increasing cause of a number
  of ailments, and airplanes contribute to the
  majority of it. Following the awareness of air
  pollution, the IATA, in collaboration with
  airlines, works on promoting and establishing a
  more energy efficient and environment friendly
  model and working of airplanes.
• The safety of the passengers is another element
  that the IATA focuses on. Air traffic control is
  one of the major tasks of the IATA. It works
  towards establishing air routes to avoid traffic
  and air accidents while also ensuring that the
  onboard following of rules and regulations is
  carried out properly.
• The IATA has numerous courses under its wings on
  travel and tourism, aviation, etcetera., for
  aspiring individuals. They provide you with
  certificates that are applicable globally, and
  the courses are one of the most esteemed aviation
  courses in the industry.
