IATA REORGANISES ASIA PACIFIC IDFS

1 July 2002

IATA today announced the reorganization of its Industry Distribution and Financial Services (IDFS) business unit into a single region for Asia Pacific with a regional Director and a team of six regional managers. 

Wai Leong Chan (previously Director for North Asia) will take on the responsibility of Regional Director, Asia Pacific Operations. Chan will remain based in Singapore overseeing the combined region's IDFS activities which include the Billing and Settlements Plan (BSP), Cargo Agency Settlement Services (CASS) and the Agency Accreditation program.

Chan will continue to push forward a re-engineering and re-structuring program of IDFS settlement services in the region which began in 1999. The transformation is aimed at increasing efficiency and customer service levels, while reducing costs by US$131 million through resource rationalization, outsourcing and innovative use of technology.
