FDA is the systematic collection of flight data to improve safety and operational efficiency. Flight data, extracted directly from the aircraft’s Flight Data Recorder (FDR) or optional Quick Access Recorder (QAR), is routinely analysed to identify areas of risk and opportunities for improved efficiency.

IATA offers a web-based Flight Data Analysis (FDA) Service which brings together a comprehensive suite of tools and expertise to unlock the value from airlines’ flight data. This saves airlines from having to recruit internal flight data expertise and associated systems by providing direct access to the very best analysts and methodologies available today. The value of FDA will be further enhanced by IATA’s unique position to share lessons learned across the airline community to increase global industry safety levels.
