IATA Warns Against Unilateral Actions to Terror Threats

Officials at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has warned governments around the world not to act unilaterally, as the aviation industry seeks to minimize the fall out from the Yemeni bomb plot.

Both passenger and cargo carriers are concerned governments around the world will tighten security to such an extent that measures will be detrimental to business.

In turn the IATA has called for a measured response.

“Effective solutions are not developed unilaterally or in haste,” said IATA director general Giovanni Bisignani at the opening of AVSEC World in Frankfurt.

“We have seen many cases where these have unintended consequences. It is still early days. Industry is cooperating with government directives on targeted actions for Yemen-origin cargo."
