IATA demands changes to conflict zone information sharing
The conflict zone information repository created a year ago in the aftermath of the 2014 shoot-down of Malaysian Airlines MH17 over Ukraine has come under criticism by airlines for what IATA characterises as its hurried and unconsidered implementation. “It was implemented too quickly without really giving it the appropriate level of thought and consideration of what was actually required by industry,” said IATA senior VP Nick Careen. Careen called the initial version of the online repository, hosted by the ICAO, “useless” because the information “was not timely and relevant.” ICAO, IATA, and other industry organisations therefore have taken a step back. “We are now surveying the industry to understand where they are getting their information and from whom,” said Careen. <br/>
