We are absolutely dedicated to representing the interests of our airline GSSA's throughout the world. Following more than 33 years representing our members and providing very popular supporting services the Federation continues to attract new members. We provide much needed help, significant practical benefits and our board representatives are now located around the globe.
Applicants who meet the criteria are welcomed into this Federation and quickly learn that, despite the Federation itself being not for profit, many profitable referrals and genuine business opportunities exist within Fedagsa membership. Professional services are easily accessible including initial 'free' consultations with legal counsel where necessary. Newsletters, updates, business referrals, statistics, special contracts, even financial support and the use of our air waybills can be found here at the Federation. In addition, the ongoing lobbying of government and non-government organisations to protect your interests is just one of the further behind the scenes benefits.
Our Business Conferences/AGM meetings provide well qualified networking opportunities and set the priorities for each year. Discounts on IATA CASS, manuals, WCS conferences and other services including courses are available through your membership. Our guarantee program is in constant demand. Indeed most members have found the cash discounts to be greater than their membership fees making their Fedagsa membership essentially free. We also offer prompt and discounted access to IATA accreditation for those qualifying for this joint Federation/IATA GSSA program.
