The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that “Emerging Stronger – Safely Transforming to a More Resilient Tomorrow” will be the theme of the 2022 Safety Conference. The event will take place on 25th to the 27th of October in Dubai, UAE, with Emirates as the host airline.
“The past two years of COVID-19 have tested aviation as never before. Yet despite these pressures, aviation operated to the highest levels of safety. Now, we need to ensure that we safely manage the challenges of rebuilding our connected world in line with rapidly returning demand, as well as prepare for future growth. The IATA Safety Conference is the forum to discuss and debate the path forward toward an even safer tomorrow,” said Nick Careen, IATA’s Senior Vice President, Operations, Safety and Security.
Sir Tim Clark, President, Emirates Airline, will deliver an Opening Keynote Address. “Safety is core to our industry and in an ever-more complex operating environment, leadership is vital to ensure that every link in the aviation chain is strong and future resilient. Events like this conference provide a valuable platform for the aviation stakeholders to convene, communicate and cooperate on policies and initiatives relating to Safety. We look forward to welcoming the speakers and delegates to Dubai for the IATA Safety Conference,” said Sir Tim.
