[ January 7, 2021 // Karen Thuermer ]The International Air Transport Association (IATA) awarded GTA dnata the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) Registration, following the successful completion of a comprehensive audit of the company and its ground-handling operations at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
