Extending cooperation on dangerous goods


The International Air Transport Association (Iata) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (Icao) have extended their long-standing cooperation on setting and implementing global standards for the safe carriage of dangerous goods by air.

 

An agreement to this effect was concluded at the Iata executive offices in Geneva during a visit by Icao secretary general Juan Carlos Salazar to discuss greater collaboration between the two organisations.

 

“Today’s agreement ensures that dangerous goods will continue to be handled according to the highest globally applicable standards. To this effect, Iata will continue its advocacy work with key stakeholders to maintain a globally aligned, and practically focused approach to the regulated transport of dangerous goods. This will lead to more efficient and robust supply chains whilst upholding aviation’s number one priority of safety,” said Willie Walsh, Iata’s director general. (cj)
