"We got our tickets and made a series of actions that enabled companies to save 54 billion dollars in 9 years", he said.
However, Bisigniani acknowledged that "in the last 10 years, the companies lost 50 billion dollars" after the attacks on the Twin Towers and the international financial crisis.

In his opinion, today most likely commercial aviation market is Asia-Pacific: The Asia-Pacific market which today is more likely to grow. Currently representing 26 percent of the global market in 2014 will account for 30 per percent. It is the fastest growing market in the areas of freight and passengers. "
"Last year, China opened 20 airports for 20 million people and there are another 20 under construction for the next five years, "explained the manager.

Airlines was a member of the organization since 1950 but was excluded from the clearing of IATA in June 2001, debts of close to $ 60 million, incurred when the operation Company was in private hands.
Since 2009, IATA agreed with the Argentine government to enter into agreements with companies with which airlines had debts, and once they reported that they had no outstanding claims, the international body was again put on their screens and reservation systems in the world.
This reentry simplifies processes for users of travel and transportation, and permits use of lower cost and in the case of airlines permitted to operate safely, efficiently and economically, under defined rules. IATA
