The Industry Affairs Advisory Council (IAAC) advises the Board of Governors, the Director General and other IATA bodies on aero-political matters affecting international passenger air transport.
It assists IATA in prioritizing policy issues, developing industry policies and positions, supervising policy implementation and promoting policy campaigning.
