IATA Confirms Date of Virtual AGM
|
IATA has confirmed that its 76th Annual General
Meeting (AGM) will take place 24 November 2020 as a virtual event,
hosted by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in Amsterdam,
Netherlands.
All member airlines, invited industry
partners/stakeholders and media will be able to participate
virtually.
The World Air Transport
Summit (WATS) that accompanies the AGM has been cancelled for
2020.
“The decision to cancel the in-person AGM has not
been taken lightly and in no way is a reflection on the
hospitality of the Netherlands, nor our host carrier, KLM,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and
CEO. “When we postponed this year’s AGM from June until November,
it was with the expectation that government restrictions on travel
would have been sufficiently eased to enable a physical meeting.
That now seems unlikely and alternative plans for a virtual event
are being activated.”
“This will be one of our most important AGMs. The
industry is in the deepest crisis in its history. And it is more
important than ever for the industry to have this meeting serve as
a rallying call of resilience as we find solutions to safely open
borders and re-establish global connectivity, ensure vital cargo
lanes; and build a sustainable future from the destruction of the
virus,” de Juniac added.
