IATA to hold its first integrated safety and operations conference in September

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), which is the representative body for the global airline industry, has announced that its first World Safety and Operations Conference (WSOC) will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, and run from September 19 to September 21. The theme of the conference is “Leadership in Action: Driving Safer and More Efficient Operations”. “Borders are open, airports are busy, and flights are full. As we rebuild airline networks and balance sheets, it is vital that all aviation stakeholders maintain the same strong commitment to safe operations that we exercised during the pandemic years,” stressed IATA director-general Willie Walsh. “The WSOC is the forum to discuss and debate today’s challenges and opportunities to keep the industry on a trajectory of improving safety and more efficient operations.”
