Engineering & Maintenance

​IATA considers design, certification and airworthiness issues and promotes optimal means of improving safety, reliability and productivity in aircraft engineering. We establish guidelines on engineering best practice and the standardization of technology.

The IATA Engineering & Maintenance Group (EMG) gives airlines a voice on E&M matters. It assists and supports the IATA Operations Committee (OPC) in all matters relating to optimizing engineering and maintenance measures to improve safety, reliability and productivity. 

Engineering and Maintenance Group (EMG)

The Eng​​ineering and Maintenance Group (EMG) develops policies, standards and recommendations for consideration by the OPC in all aspects of safe and efficient aircraft engineering and maintenance activities, airworthiness and reliability issues, aircraft recovery, aircraft performance, and avionics. Additionally, it develops and promotes related IATA positions to ICAO, regulatory, industry and other relevant organizations.
