SINGAPORE: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said it had decided to move its 67th annual general meeting to Singapore from its planned site in Cairo after Egypt was jolted by unrest that prompted the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.
"We regret not being able to host this event in Egypt as originally planned. We look forward to hosting a future AGM in Egypt when its political transition is complete," IATA director general and CEO Giovanni Bisignani said in a statement issued late on Tuesday
The meeting will take place on June 5-7 and involve 800 delegates, including 150-200 top executives from airlines, manufacturers, and airport operators.
