Willie Walsh: IATA Committed to Making Air Travel Safer Following Washington DC Tragedy

Willie Walsh – the head of global aviation industry representative and lobby group the International Air Transport Association (IATA) – has paid tribute to the passengers who lost their lives in the Washington DC air tragedy, earlier this week, and said the organisation “will never cease” working to make air travel ever more safer.

On the back of monthly figures showing a continued increase in air passenger demand, Mr Walsh said: “The desire to partake in the freedom that flying makes possible brings some challenges into sharp focus. First, the tragic accident in Washington… reminds us that safety needs our continuous efforts. Our thoughts are with all those affected. We will never cease our work to make aviation ever safer.
