Aviation has made remarkable progress over the past decade but we must all work harder to make flying even safer. How does the industry achieve that?
Discover four key takeaways from #IATAWSOC
Three days of conversations in Istanbul, reinforced a clear message: advancing ✈️ safety takes empowered people, smart use of technology, strong standards and continued industry collaboration.
Weather can change significantly once an ✈️ is in the air. At #IATAWSOC, experts explored how live satellite and lightning data can complement pre-flight forecasts, helping pilots and dispatchers spot hazards earlier and make better-informed decisions.
From integrating advanced air mobility and improving fuel efficiency to helping cabin crew deliver on safety, explore key topics shaping aviation safety and operations discussed on Day 2 of #IATAWSOC.
In an ✈️ crisis, AI helps responders act faster by:
1️⃣ Managing call surges
2️⃣ Reuniting personal effects
3️⃣ Supporting victim identification
4️⃣ Connecting medical expertise to the aircraft
But the most sensitive decisions remain human.

Safety starts long before the audit. ✈️ #IOSA airlines recorded 1 accident per 1.09M flights in 2025, versus 1 per 0.39M for non-IOSA operators. With risk-based IOSA, preparation matters more than ever. Safety is built through continuous readiness.
🧑✈️👩✈️ Pilots at #IATAWSOC shared what it takes to turn fuel-efficiecny goals into flight-deck action:
✅ Empower, don't preach.
✅ Never compromise the Captain's authority on safe fuel decisions.
✅ Communicate the “why” as clearly as the “what”.
✈️ From safety culture and IOSA audits to geopolitical risk, technology, and crisis management, explore the key topics shaping aviation safety and operations in the latest Airlines. special edition for #IATAWSOC

Geopolitical risks are reshaping aviation's operating environment. At #IATAWSOC, industry leaders discussed the importance of resilient organizations, reliable information, and empowering people to make the right decisions in rapidly changing conditions.
✈️ Aviation is safer today than it was a decade ago. What will drive the next step change in safety?
At #IATAWSOC, IATA highlighted 3️⃣ pillars for the next advances in aviation safety: people, technology, and standards.
Aviation safety keeps improving: from 1 fatal accident per 3.5M flights a decade ago to 1 per 5.6M flights in 2025. But 394 onboard fatalities last year remind us there is more work to do.
#IATAWSOC highlights how People, Technology and Standards must work together 👇
