The training community, airlines, simulation and training industry, not for profit organisations and regulators have always been critical to the safe operation of the world airline system. The ultimate safety tool is, after all, well trained people.

This is more so today as we begin our recovery from the Covid pandemic and it is increasingly important that the community meets to exchange ideas, validate processes and check new thinking and technology.

In a competitive industry it is our training teams that help raise the safety bar for all and after an unprecedented shut down of nearly two years we face multiple challenges in enabling the return of our industry to full operations.
