IATA expanding Singapore presence
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is growing its presence in Singapore with the move to a larger office.
In a statement issued today (6 February), IATA said the new premises will be “able to accommodate 40% more employees, including a Global Delivery Center (GDC)”.
Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO, commented: “2018 marks IATA’s 49th year in Singapore. From a small office in 1969, today Singapore is one of five regional offices and is our headquarters for the Asia-Pacific region. All of IATA’s activities and services to its members and stakeholders are represented in this office. We currently have over 150 employees and we are adding more resources.”
The Singapore GDC operations team handles customers speaking 12 languages from over 16 time zones. Twenty three new jobs have been added as a result of the GDC in Singapore. In 2017, the IATA office in Singapore processed close to US$70 billion in settlements for the Asia-Pacific region.
