Huawei Announces Strategic Partnership with IATA

At the Passenger Terminal EXPO 2018 in Stockholm, Huawei today announced it has joined the Strategic Partnerships Program of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Through this Program, Huawei will use its advanced ICT innovations and expertise to help develop airports and airlines of the future, enhancing the passenger experience and optimizing air cargo operations.

The development of a country’s aviation industry is a key indicator of its economic, technical and social progress. A thriving aviation industry requires collaboration among airlines, airports, and other stakeholders involved in the industry chain. It also depends on the development of global industry standards and processes, and implementation of new technologies which are critical for transforming the industry. Becoming a member of the IATA Strategic Partnerships Program represented an ideal opportunity for Huawei to extend its commitment to advancing the aviation industry. IATA is the trade association of the world’s airlines, which was formed in April 1945 in Havana, representing some 280 airlines of 120 countries, covering 83% of total air traffic. Professional support is provided to all industry stakeholders with a wide range of products and expert services, including formulating industry policies to address aviation issues.

Leveraging continuous innovation, Huawei’s ICT products, solutions, and services have been adopted by more than 50 airports, airlines, and air traffic control authorities. Customers include more than 15 global airports with more than 30 million annual passengers each. Through the IATA Strategic Partnerships Program, Huawei will apply new ICT to boost digital transformation of the aviation industry. It will help customers build smart airports and airlines that are dynamic, efficient, collaborative, innovative, and ready for an intelligent era, meeting airports’, airlines’ and passengers’ requirements for safety, efficiency, and personalized services.

«The IATA Strategic Partnerships Program is open to companies that add value and bring benefits to the air transport industry directly and indirectly by means of their services, products and solutions,» said Mark Hubble, IATA’s Senior Vice President, Marketing and Commercial Services. «We are very happy to include Huawei in our growing family of Strategic Partners.»
