01What it does

What Air Transport Association of America Inc does

Mission

Airlines for america (a4a) vigorously advocates for america's airlines as models of safety, customer service, and environmental responsibility; and as the indispensable network that drives our nation's economy and global competitiveness.a4a serves its member airlines and their customers by assisting the airline industry in continuing to provide the world's safest system of transportation; transmitting technical expertise and operational knowledge to improve safety, service and efficiency; advocating fair airline taxation and regulation worldwide to foster a healthy, competitive industry; and by developing and coordinating industry actions that are environmentally beneficial, economically reasonable and technologically feasible.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Known crewmember program (kcm) - a service provided by the association to the entire industry that permits participating airline crewmembers to pass through security in separate more secure lanes. This access provides additional security by verifying crewmembers against facial pictures directly from a participating company's crew database before they can pass through the lanes. The program was developed in conjunction with the tsa. The program continues to improve passenger facilitation and has removed in excess of 125 million crewmembers from regular security lanes, increasing the throughput of the general traveling public. The kcm program is currently available to all carriers in the u.s.

  2. E-business program - this program encompasses everything from industry standards setting activities to a common database linking manufacturers and airlines from a repair and maintenance perspective. The standard setting activities provide common practices and efficiencies to help airline industry members in the back end day-to-day operations. The program is self-funded through a separate membership program and the entire program is accounted for as unrelated business income on the association's 990-t.

  3. Industry consortium insurance program - this industry related program allows airport fuel consortium participants to participate in an industry level insurance program for both property and liability covering the largest airports in the u.s. The program provides benefits to the industry as a whole as non-member airlines participate through being a part of the airport consortium. The result of the program is to mitigate risk by spreading it over multiple locations and ultimately drive down the cost of participation and overall coverage. The fees generated by this program are accounted for as unrelated business income on the association's 990-t.
