Chooose becomes a member of IATA’s Strategic Partnerships Program

We’re thrilled to announce that we are officially a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Strategic Partnerships Program. Since 1990, the program has provided a unique forum for airlines and their stakeholders to collaborate on creating a safer, more reliable, and more sustainable global air transport network.

Establishing a platform for dialogue

When the SPP was established 30 years ago, there was little formal dialogue between the airline industry and its service providers on setting vital industry standards. Recognizing the untapped potential, IATA and nine founding companies — Accelya, Amadeus, ARINC, GE Aviation, IER, Nordisk, SITA, SNCF, and Unisys — joined forces to create the SPP.

Initially, the SPP focused on a few strategic areas with objectives to pool resources and expertise, support IATA initiatives, and assist in the development, implementation, and promotion of industry standards. Today, the SPP has grown into a community of over 420 partners worldwide, continuously working together to enhance the aviation industry’s standards and practices.

An opportunity to advance the ecosystem

Joining IATA’s Strategic Partnerships Program is pivotal for Chooose, as it aligns with our mission to accelerate global decarbonization efforts, particularly within the aviation sector. As a member, we have access to a platform where we can collaborate closely with airlines and industry stakeholders, gathering resources and expertise to advance sustainable aviation initiatives.

By participating in this program, Chooose can leverage industry standards, foster innovation in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) adoption, and drive meaningful impact towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation. It not only enhances our ability to support aviation partners in their sustainability journeys but also strengthens our position as a key contributor to the broader ecosystem striving for environmental stewardship and climate action.

”Decarbonizing aviation requires ecosystem collaboration — it may be cliché, but it is also true that this is not an exercise that a single entity can tackle alone. With this in mind, Chooose looks forward to actively participating in IATA’s Strategic Partnerships Program, as well as the opportunities this program provides to strengthen relationships with key industry stakeholders. We believe programs like this help make us stronger as an organization, position us to even better support our partners in aviation, and play a key role in moving the whole ecosystem forward,” says Nina Birger, VP Climate Solutions at Chooose.
