IATA updates emergency guidelines to improve family support after aviation incidents.
IATA has added a new chapter on family assistance to its Emergency Response Best Practices Handbook, the first formal inclusion of such guidance.
The update aligns with international standards from ICAO and supports airlines, airports, and ground handlers in providing timely, respectful support to families after aviation incidents.
Key measures include notifying families before public name disclosures, setting up dedicated assistance centers, managing personal effects, and offering ongoing communication, claims help, memorial planning, and staff debriefings.
IATA is also launching training and simulation exercises to better prepare personnel.
