The International Air Transport Association is a non-partisan international association of airlines which aims primarily to regulate the air traffic industries through the registration of, and assigning of codes to, airlines and airports. The IATA is headquartered in Corcaigh Nua, Maltropia, where it was founded in 1956. Airlines receive a two-letter designation, generally assigned based on the initials or first letters of the airline's name, while airports receive a three-letter code based on a similar methodology.

The IATA is not an "alliance" of airlines; rather, though it aims to prevent disagreements and price wars, etc., among its members, it neither enforces nor maintains any policies or programmes on the behalf of its membership. Furthermore, the IATA aims to avoid the taking of sides in disputes, even between members and non-members. Because of this policy, the organisation has acquired a reputation as an arbiter in international disputes within the air traffic industries, and it may be requested to act in that capacity by communication at this website.
