The “Aviation 4 All” Declaration was developed by the IAF to set out clear goals to achieve sustainable growth and prosperity. So far, over 40 organisations have signed the Declaration, and others are encouraged to consider adding their support to the initiative.
Key points to the declaration include:
- Delivering on environmental commitments to provide a “net zero” industry;
- Enhancing the workplace to establish an inclusive and diverse working environment, regardless of age, religion, gender, academic or physical ability or national origin;
- Increasing connectivity to enhance global accessibility;
- Working with governments to enhance safety and security to protect passengers, shippers, and the workforce;
- Integrating throughout the value chain to provide an improved customer and shipper experience, adopting seamless technology-based solutions;
- Providing a customer-centric culture;
- Dedicated focus on improving operational performance to minimize service disruptions;
- Delivering financial efficiencies to lower the barrier of access, so that a greater percentage of the global population can reap the benefits of domestic and international air travel;
- Enhancing the overall positive impact that commercial aviation has on global society through increased opportunities for prosperity and cultural integration
“TIACA’s support of the Aviation 4 All declaration is a natural extension of the work we do on behalf of the industry. We are pleased to support this initiative and we cannot wait to get to work in supporting its implementation.” Steven Polmans, Chair, TIACA
“We are thrilled to be invited to support initiatives such as the Aviation 4 All vision as it confirms the value the global aviation community sees in what TIACA is doing to support the air cargo industry and the declaration’s contents are fully aligned to what we see as being vital for the sustainable growth and development of our industry.” Glyn Hughes, Director General, TIACA.
