IATA is pleased to introduce the Strategic Partnerships Referral Programme, intended to encourage new alliance possibilities. We’ve created this incentive for Strategic Partners to extend a membership invitation to their own business partners (whether technical, operational or strategic), in order to build on potential synergies and strengthen the Strategic Partnerships network.
Referral Rewards:
For each referral that results in a new Strategic Partnerships agreement, the referring Strategic Partner can choose one of the following options:
1. One free delegate pass to the IATA commercial conference in your area of involvement. Please find the conferences to choose from below.
- IATA Legal Symposium, Buenos Aires, 10-12 February
- IATA OPS Forum, Madrid, 25-27 February
- IATA Crisis Management, Madrid, 26-27 February
- IATA World Cargo Symposium, Rome, 3-6 March
- IATA Ground Operations Symposium and IATA Ground Handling Council (IGHC) Kuala Lumpur, 12-14 May
- IATA Executive Financial & Procurement Summit, London, UK
- IATA/ACI/ECAC AVSEC World 2008, Seoul, 11-13 November
- IATA Air Transport IT Summit, Las Vegas
- IATA Commercial Strategy Symposium, 1-4 December, Las Vegas
2. One free IATA Training and Development Institute training seat, subject to space availability in the 2008 course calendar.
Terms and Conditions:
New candidates for the Strategic Partnerships programme must be companies with demonstrated experience within the aviation industry, i.e., they are already servicing airlines or have products suited to the needs of airlines. Strategic Partners making referrals must have direct knowledge of the referred companies, and the companies under consideration must be aware of the referral. Should a referred contact already exist in the Strategic Partnerships lead-generation database, the referring Strategic Partner must prove an active role was taken in recruiting the contact, such as through official correspondence. New Strategic Partnerships contracts must be signed within three months of the original referral for the referring Strategic Partner to qualify for the rewards.
How to Submit a Referral:
Strategic Partners must complete the Referral Form specifying complete contact information for both parties. Once the referred company has completed the membership application, the referring Strategic Partner will receive a Rewards e-mail offering the choice between a training course or conference delegate pass.
