1130 – 1245  | Panel Discussion: Ensuring Safety and Resilience amid Global Aviation Shifts

As the global aviation sector emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, it faces potentially disrupting aviation shifts. The ramp up of operations to match air travel demand has strained aviation processes at airports, airlines, and air navigation services providers (ANSPs). A world-wide manpower crunch especially in experienced aviation personnel has complicated recovery plans and may have long-term repercussions. Geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions can unsettle current operations and forward plans. At the fundamental level, climate change has compelled many to revisit sustainability goals and implications to air operations and safety. Amidst such global aviation shifts, how can the sector deal with competing demands while sustaining its good safety performance? What can the sector do to improve resilience against sudden disruptions and to prepare early for the known challenges ahead?

1415 – 1530 | Panel Discussion: Safety Challenges amid the Pursuit of Sustainable Aviation 

Sustainability has become a key area of focus for the aviation sector. In the pursuit of new processes and technologies to lower the carbon footprint, existing operations may have to be adjusted. Are there potential risks or ‘blind-spots’ which could compromise safety? How can we ensure that change management and risk mitigation are robustly performed when pushing new boundaries, innovations and technologies? In this panel, speakers will discuss the potential challenges in ensuring safety amid the drive towards sustainability.

0930 – 1045 | Panel Discussion: Human Factors in Aviation Safety – Challenges and Opportunities 

The human role in aviation, while one of the most important components, might be the least easily understood. In a similar paradox, humans are deemed a necessary resource for both flexibility and resilience in aviation. With such a complex nature, it is not surprising that the topic of human factors has been widely studied to better comprehend how people behave and perform, and their ability to integrate with technology safely and efficiently. The pandemic has brought into focus a particular aspect of human factors – physical and mental health and wellness, its impact on the performance of aviation personnel and safety, and the criticality to detect and address any issues early. How can organizations better manage human factors to minimize safety risks attributable to the human element, while building a positive safety culture where health and wellness issues are discussed and addressed? In this session, speakers will discuss the challenges faced when dealing with human factors in aviation, opportunities for mitigation, and good practices to upkeep the health and wellness of aviation personnel.
