Pierre Jeanniot: Aux Commandes du Ciel (biography)
Aspiring leaders of international aviation in need of a role model could turn to Pierre Jeanniot, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada and Director General Emeritus of the International Air Transport Association – who early in his career invented the black box “out of necessity, to save my job”.
In a biography recently published by the Presses de l’Université du Québec, Jacqueline Cardinal and Laurent Lapierre retrace the life of Pierre Jeanniot, a boy from a tiny Jura mountain village in France who grew to develop the leadership qualities which led him to become known as “the ambassador of international civil aviation”. This exciting and inspiring biography explores:
- How he learned to survive – and thrive –in occupied France and the bombardment of Rome
- His struggle to achieve higher education for himself and others, which led him to play a major role in the founding of the Université of Québec
- How, under his direction, Air Canada chose Airbus to renew its fleet
- How he successfully privatized Air Canada despite numerous obstacles
- How his IATA address in Amman set the 21st century priorities for international civil aviation: accident prevention, safeguarding the environment, and using advanced technologies
- The importance of diplomacy in overcoming political obstacles in countries such as Iran, Libya, North Korea and the Middle East
- Re-starting the air system in the aftermath of September 11
- Life after IATA – and the need to continue to re-invent oneself

Pandemics: Travel and Tourism Should Join the Fight
Pandemics: Travel and Tourism Should Join the Fight
Press release
Ajaccio, Corsica, October 5, 2009 >>
After a long and distinguished career in the airline industry, Pierre J. Jeanniot, former CEO of Air Canada and former Director General of IATA, has a new vocation: raising funds to fight pandemic diseases. As such, he has agreed to become the Founding Chairman of the Foundation on Antivirals (FAV).
“Almost every country in the world now enjoys international airline service. Any point in the world can be reached in less than a day – and this vast network can allow pandemic infections to circle the globe in a matter of hours. The travel and tourism industry has already suffered a great deal from virus-caused pandemics, and has much to gain from the development of successful, affordable antiviral therapies.”
Pierre Jeanniot was addressing an international symposium of some 100 leading scientists and researchers from around the world meeting in Ajaccio, Corsica. They are members of the International Consortium on Anti-Virals (ICAV), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the discovery and development of new therapies for infectious diseases and to making them available to all “regardless of national boundaries, geopolitical and economic constraints”.
“Developing new antiviral therapies is a very expensive proposition.”
“The first stage in the development of a therapy – discovering new and promising antivirals – is largely supported by ICAV-affiliated researchers. The latter stages – when commercialization is anticipated – can be supported by pharmaceutical companies. But, the critical stages of pre-clinical and clinical trials receive little public or industry support.”
“To fill this funding gap, the Foundation on Antivirals (FAV) has entered into a partnership with the International Consortium on Anti-Virals (ICAV) to seek the support not only of the travel and tourism industry, but also of major international corporations which could be the most affected by the propagation of viruses … given their globe-spanning activities”, said Jeanniot.
“The SARS epidemic of 2003 was a wake-up call. It caused global damage estimated at $300 billion and drove the travel and tourism industry into a financial crisis.”
“Modern science may have reduced the impact of infectious diseases on local populations – in the developed world at least – but modern travel has extended their range and the speed with which they spread, particularly in developing regions. Much remains to be done.”
FAV and ICAV’s objective is to facilitate and accelerate research into new, efficient and less costly antiviral medicines for the benefit of mankind. “It’s an objective that is worthy of the support of the industries that have helped to create the global village”, concluded Jeanniot.
