IATA’S AGM, Miami, Florida

In June 2015, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) held its 71st Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit in Miami, Florida. The two-day meeting attracted approximately 1,000 industry leaders and covered topics such as evolving traveler expectations, challenges in infrastructure, the relationship between airlines and manufacturers and what is on the minds of CEOs. This year’s meeting was a special one as it marked the 70th birthday of IATA: in 1945, 57 airlines joined together in Havana, Cuba, and founded IATA.
