Want to keep receiving the FIATA Review in printed version?
Sending a magazine printed on paper to our members quarterly leaves a big ecological footprint, from the production of the printed version to the sending of each issue around the world. For this reason, in case some members would still like to receive the paper version, FIATA pledges to offset the CO2 emissions generated from posting each magazine, by planting a tree.
