The corporate travel community must work together to ensure the safety and security of passengers in the light of terror threats, according to the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA).

GBTA executive director and COO Michael W. McCormick, said: "Over the next days and weeks, we will learn more about how these terrible attacks were planned and executed.

"GBTA stands ready to work with governments, private industry and business travelers to do everything within our power to ensure the future safety and security of our global travel system."

GBTA president Christle Johnson said: "The terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of more than a 120 innocent people and injured scores more are not just an assault on Paris, but on our modern way of life.

"On behalf of the Global Business Travel Association, let me express our deepest sympathies to the French people and to those directly affected by the attacks."
