SINGAPORE – A three-day Asia-Pacific aviation safety summit to be attended by 300 government and industry leaders from around the world will be held in Singapore from March 22 to 24, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Flight Safety Foundation announced in a joint release on Wednesday.
The summit will also discuss how to ensure aviation safety as the sector recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, while still facing challenges such as the availability and proficiency of skilled personnel, the airworthiness of aircraft returning to service from storage, and adjusting to new procedures and safety regimes, CAAS and FSF said.
CAAS director-general Han Kok Juan said: “Singapore is privileged and honoured to be able to develop, launch and co-organise this region-wide summit with the FSF. While countries have their own national regimes, aviation is cross-border and airlines operate across national boundaries. Region-wide cooperation is necessary to assure aviation safety.”
He added that the summit is timely as industry stakeholders and aviation organisations can better grapple with safety challenges and incidents as air traffic volume returns to pre-pandemic levels. International aviation experts are expected to be present at the summit as keynote speakers, such as Mr Stephen Creamer, director of the Air Navigation Bureau at the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Mr Christopher Hart, former chairman of United States National Transportation Safety Board, and Mr Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
