IATA’s 2022 Safety Report for global aviation shows a reduction in the number of fatal accidents and the fatality risk, compared with 2021 and the five-year average (2018-2022).
The aviation skills gap is across the board, although some regions face greater challenges than others, according to information from IATA’s Global Skills Survey presented by IATA’s Director Flight & Technical Operations Stuart Fox.
When it comes to a commitment to safety, the aviation industry has been at the forefront of “doing what is right for many, many decades,” according to Sir Charles Haddon-Cave, Right Honourable Lord Justice, who addressed the IATA Safety Conference.
