Day 211 March

IATA Day

Meet the Airlines - IATA, together with key representatives of a number of its major airline members, will be discussing the challenges we are facing together as we implement many of the IATA programmes that have been outlined at previous PTE conferences. The airline speakers, together with representatives from the airports where they are working on these initiatives, will talk about how they perceive the implementation process, both the opportunities and the challenges.

Carolina Ramirez-Taborda, Global Director, Aviation Security and Facilitation, IATA, Switzerland

Speaker Biography: Carolina’s career in aviation started in 2004 when she joined IATA in Montreal, working for business intelligence, passenger publications to cargo, ground ops and security events. From 2010 she ran the IATA Secure Freight programme, which successfully delivered pilot projects in 15 countries including Malaysia, Kenya, Mexico, Chile, Jordan, Bahrain, Brazil, Turkey and the Philippines. The outreach of this capacity-building program prompted her promotion to Global Director, Aviation Security and Facilitation in June 2014, with responsibility, oversight and advocacy for all aviation security and facilitation matters on behalf of IATA member airlines. In this role Carolina is currently addressing the priorities drawn by the ICAO Task Force on Risks to Civil Aviation arising from Conflict Zones (TF RCZ), supporting member airlines developing cyber security programmes, and gaining consensus on a long-term framework for efficient, risk-based, passenger data processes.
