Event
Safety forum 2024
Aviation Weather Resilience
The 11th Safety Forum, organised by the Flight Safety Foundation, in partnership with EUROCONTROL and the European Regions Airline Association took place on 19–20 June 2024, at our headquarters in Brussels.
This edition of the Forum explored what the aviation industry needs to do next in order to strengthen its weather resilience. More specifically, it focussed on weather resilience management and provided insights and strategies into how we can enhance safety measures and reduce the likelihood of weather-related incidents and accidents. Reacting to weather-related safety risks can result in flight delays, traffic disruptions, diversions and cancellations, causing inconvenience to passengers and substantial financial losses to airlines.
The Forum also looked at how weather forecasting and cutting-edge technologies can be integrated into aviation operations to mitigate traffic disruptions and delays and improve the overall passenger experience.
