The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 360 airlines, over 80% of global air traffic and supports many areas of aviation activity and helps formulate industry policy on critical aviation issues.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is IATA’s top governance event. It formalizes positions on industry and public policy issues and provides a focus for emerging industry issues. The World Air Transport Summit (WATS) is a conference accompanying the AGM, exploring critical issues with leaders from across the air transport sector such as sustainability, safety, security and digital transformation,

These back-to-back events, together, comprise the highest-level gathering of airline executives around the globe. Invitations to the IATA AGM and WATS are extended exclusively to IATA member airlines, IATA Strategic Partners at the AGM-level, key industry stakeholders and selected media.

These exclusive annual events rotate locations annually offering local companies the opportunity to showcase their products and services to aviation leaders. In 2026 these events will be coming to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 6-8 June, for the first time in over 25 years!

"The last time the IATA AGM was in South America was in 1999, also in Rio. It will be a great opportunity to take stock of changes over two decades of development that have seen strengthening air connectivity successfully support major world events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. By meeting in the largest aviation market in South America, the AGM will highlight the great potential for aviation to be an even more powerful strategic force driving social and economic prosperity,”
