JUN 05, 2003 (newstodate): The on-going IATA AGM has named Vagn Sorensen, former VP of SAS Airlines, now Austrian Airlines CEO, new member to its Board of Governors.
Thirty-one of IATA's 278 member airlines are represented on the Board of Governors, a steering committee concerned with addressing the global challenges facing the world aviation industry.
-In the interest of fair competition, future subsidies must be held down wherever possible; the problem of uneven distribution throughout the value creation chain in civil aviation, which is based on existing monopolies, must be clearly addressed; and in Europe in particular, we need to optimise the infrastructure situation of an excessive number of territorially-bound air traffic control organisations, Vagn Sorensen said after the designation.
