10th ANNUAL SAFETY FORUM
June 7-8, 2023 | Brussels
Safety Forum 2023 Agenda
As demonstrated by the COVID-19 crisis, resilience and vitality in the aviation industry are in many respects constrained by the availability of suitably trained, qualified and experienced staff. This issue affects everyone – people at the sharp end of flight operations, maintenance, ground handling, air traffic control and airport personnel, as well as managers and other personnel at the blunt end.
There has also been a loss of experience through normal retirement and through redundancies, where alternative employment has proved more attractive than returning into aviation. At the same time, new realities in the industry and society, including paradigms for sustainable development, technological advances, new business models and new generations are bringing new demands for particular skills and knowledge.
Register today and take part in our discussion on knowledge, skills and experience for safe operations!
