FIATA is structured into Institutes, Advisory Bodies, and Working Groups each in their turn dealing with every aspect that affects the international movement of freight.

（FIATA拥有三家研究院，即：空运、海关事务、多式联运（又下设海运、陆运和铁运工作组））

The Institutes, which usually meet twice per year, carry out the technical work of the Federation. Currently FIATA has three, namely the

• Airfreight Institute (AFI) details
• Customs Affairs Institute (CAI) details
• Multimodal Transport Institute (MTI) details

Some of the Institutes have some permanent Working Groups; e.g. the MTI has three for Sea, Rail and Road Transport, and the AFI one for IATA matters. Working Groups report to their respective Institutes and meet according to necessity

For matters that affect the whole of the freight forwarding industry there are five Advisory Bodies:

（拥有五家咨询委员会：即国际事务、信息技术、法律事务、运输安保、职业培训）

• Advisory Body of International Affairs (ABIA) details
• Advisory Body of Information Technology (ABIT) details
• Advisory Body Legal Matters (ABLM) details
• Advisory Body Safety and Security (ABSS) details
• Advisory Body Vocational Training (ABVT) details

They co-operate with the Institutes and Working Groups, if required, and meet according to necessity.

Regional Meetings

• Africa/Middle East
• Americas
• Asia/Pacific
• Europe

Regional Bodies
The primary target of the Regional Meetings is to bring forward the regional issues, and if necessary submit them to the Institutes and technical bodies of FIATA. The intention being to identify and assist regional members in solving their local industry problems. Another important objective is to gain synergies between the member countries of the region and to import and export these benefits to other associations. The Regional Bodies meet normally twice a year at the HQ Session in Zurich and at the annual FIATA World Congress. Regional field meetings may be held, if necessary, between the HQ Session and the World Congress.
It is the target of the Regional Bodies to be more active in the different Advisory Bodies, Institutes and Working Groups of FIATA and all interested parties are invited to e-mail their interest to the chairman or manager of the relevant Regional Body. In countries where no national association exists, all individual members are requested to form a national association. FIATA would be happy to assist whenever help is needed. Future targets of the Regional Bodies are to gain more individual members in all countries, only with more national associations and more individual members, the Regional Bodies will become strong and will have a reputable voice within FIATA.
