Preparations before "G hour"
Taking place from September 19 to 21, the 2023 World Aviation Safety and Operations Conference with the theme "Leaders in Action: Promoting Safer and More Efficient Operations" will be the first time IATA organizes a comprehensive event on general safety work in the aviation industry, gathering more than 800 guests representing leaders of airlines and international organizations in the aviation sector around the world with a diverse working program from plenary sessions, group discussions, to connections, information sharing...
This conference is a global event, an important forum for the aviation industry with the main objective of exchanging information between airlines, authorities, manufacturers, aviation safety experts and all stakeholders on key issues in operational safety; as well as an opportunity to emphasize and raise awareness of the entire industry about the special importance of ensuring safety in operational activities.
The conference topics include: Safety; Flight Operations; Cabin Operations; and Crisis Emergency. As the host airline, Vietnam Airlines has worked closely with IATA since the early days of planning the conference program with the focus on safety and a positive aviation safety culture program. During the conference, Vietnam Airlines will discuss with airlines and international organizations the content of building a safety culture, core values and pillars towards the goal of Advanced Safety Culture, propose to perfect policies for the National Safety Program (SSP), and contribute opinions to IATA in the process of participating in the development, promulgation and implementation of policies and industry standards.
At the same time, Vietnam Airlines will prepare the content of the signing of the Charter on Safety Culture; develop dialogue content with airline leaders, aviation authorities as well as leaders of state management agencies; discuss the topic of building an aviation safety culture...
Vietnam Airlines is an airline with a high level of control and safety performance in IATA when it has continuously maintained the IOSA Operational Safety Certification for the 10th time during the nearly two decades since becoming a member of the International Air Transport Association; achieved a Proactive level of 4.0 on a scale of 5 for Safety Culture and was rated by Airlines Rating as the maximum level of 7/7 for safety level. At this conference, Vietnam Airlines will have presentations and share the viewpoints and methods that the airline has implemented in the field of aviation safety - an area that Vietnam Airlines attaches special importance to and cannot be traded.
"This conference is an opportunity for Vietnam Airlines to emphasize and raise awareness of the special importance of building a safety culture within the organization, and an opportunity for industry leaders and aviation management agencies to propose solutions to issues related to safety, operations and infrastructure to improve safety for the world aviation industry," said Mr. Le Hong Ha, General Director of Vietnam Airlines.
Mr. Willie Walsh, IATA Director General, said that as the host airline, Vietnam Airlines is demonstrating a strong commitment to the common goal of sharing and improving understanding and knowledge of aviation safety.
Safe, integrated and shared destination
In 2022, IATA held the Cabin Ops Safety conference in June 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal and the Safety conference (formerly known as the Safety and Flight Ops Conference) in October 2022 in Dubai, UAE.
However, this year there was a difference when IATA decided to combine the two conferences to organize a joint event under the name of IATA Global Safety and Operations Conference, which is also the first time IATA has organized a comprehensive event on general safety work of the aviation industry and more specifically, taking place at a time when the issue of ensuring absolute safety is put first as airlines are focusing all resources to resume operations during the market recovery period after the Covid-19 pandemic.
With IATA choosing Vietnam as the location and Vietnam Airlines as the host airline to organize the World Aviation Safety and Operations Conference 2023 this September, Mr. Le Hong Ha, General Director of Vietnam Airlines emphasized that this event has important significance, showing the influence and position not only of the National Airline but also affirming the safety management capacity of Vietnamese management agencies, promoting the image of the country and its people to hundreds of leading leaders in the aviation industry around the world.
According to Mr. Dinh Viet Thang, Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, IATA's selection of Vietnam to host a Global Conference on Safety and Operations shows the strong, outstanding development as well as the complete international integration of the Vietnamese aviation industry, affirming the policies, institutions, strategies, solutions for building and developing the aviation industry as well as the establishment and implementation of the national safety program and the safety management system that have been carried out continuously, synchronously and with high efficiency.
"The fact that Vietnam was chosen as the venue for the world's leading and prestigious aviation safety event demonstrates the image of Vietnam as a safe destination, ready to integrate, accompany and share experiences on aviation safety issues on a global scale," Mr. Thang shared.
