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.

Crew Screening
Issue
Airport security could be made more effective if it was possible to differentiate between air crews and other passengers. Implementing better screening and ID processes for air crews could free up over worked airport security to focus on less well known, potentially higher risk passengers.

The Use of Counter – MANPAD Technology on Commercial Aircraft
Issue
Since the September 11th attacks civil airliners have been at increased risk from terrorists. IAPA has been concerned for some time at the possibility of Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) getting into the wrong hands and being used against a commercial aircraft. Consequently IAPA is actively supporting the research and development of counter – MANPAD technology.

Safety of Airlines in Financial Difficulties
Issue
Airlines facing financial difficulties may introduce cost cutting initiatives that risk compromising passenger safety. IAPA believes a lowering of safety standards can not be tolerated and is campaigning for global regulation to ensure all airlines meet all safety criteria.

Global Standards for Aircraft Noise
