Ata E-Business Program

The ATA e-Business Program is a non-profit, international standards setting program for the commercial aviation industry. It includes over one hundred member companies that collaborate to develop standards for information exchange to support engineering, maintenance, materiel management and flight operations. For over fifty years, the commercial aviation industry has worked together through this joint international effort to establish specifications for improving business processes and information exchange. These international specifications have evolved to meet the changing needs of the industry and to embrace the latest technological advances in information exchange. As a result, the industry has seen dramatic improvements in data efficiency, security and consistency, and has experienced a significant reduction in the time required for delivery and retrieval of operationally critical information. Members include airlines, lessors, aerospace manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, repair agencies, technology providers and consultants.
