A STATEMENT BY WILLIE WALSH, DIRECTOR GENERAL, IATA *

"I am appalled by the unlawful invasion of Ukraine by Russia and stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people under siege.

Aviation promotes peace and freedom by bringing people together. But these last days have seen peace shattered, the human cost of which is horrifying.

 My heart goes out to all the people of Ukraine, including industry partners and colleagues".

Well done Walsh. He may have wrecked BA but as IATA leader is doing grand job.
