- Environment: Promote IATA strategy to achieve carbon neutral growth as a milestone on route to a carbon-free future.
- Simplifying the Business: E-ticketing is the top priority. China and North Asia regional office is committed to achieve 100% e-ticketing in the region. Contact your STB coordinator for more information.
