About IAPA Campaigns & Representation

IAPA was born in 1960 with the aim of speaking up for the interests of the individual air traveler. We have been campaigning since then on behalf of frequent travelers - on safety and security, improving passenger comfort and getting better value for money.

We continue to stand up for the rights of the individual passenger at all opportunities. The position papers below provide an insight into areas where we are actively campaigning today.
