IATA for single certification of aircraft worldwide

The CEO and Director-General of International Air Transport Association (IATA) Alexandre de Juniac has called for single certification of aircraft to be followed worldwide.

“The real point is to restore mutual trust among regulators and a complete alignment to ensure that the single certification system works properly as it has done for the past 70 or 80 years. That is the key priority,” the IATA DG said at a conference call. He said single certification means that if (say the) (US) Federal Aviation Authority or any other agency certifies a plane, then other countries follow and certify the plane.
