IATA Applauds Europe’s Post-Volcano Measures

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) applauded the announcement by the European Commission of a comprehensive program to provide relief to the air transport sector in the aftermath of extra-ordinary airspace closures resulting from the ash plume of an Icelandic volcano.

“I applaud Vice Presidents Kallas, Almunia and Rehn for their quick action. Airlines lost revenues of US$1.7 billion in just six days, with the greatest impact on European carriers. These urgent measures will provide much needed assistance to airlines at a time when their financial resources are stretched,” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO.
