ATA is the premier trade group of the principal U.S. airlines. ATA airline members and their affiliates transport more than 90 percent of U.S. airline passenger and cargo traffic. ATA represents the collective interests of the airlines – we are not a governmental organization, nor an airline.

- Economics and Energy (traffic, capacity, pricing, labor, fleet, fuel, taxes)
