Welcome to Dublin and the Foundation’s 70th annual International Air Safety Summit (IASS).
Since 1947, the Foundation has hosted an annual international safety event at which the industry’s brightest safety minds have met to exchange information, identify emerging safety threats and discuss new ways to further reduce risk in aviation. This year will be no exception. We have a packed, three-day agenda covering a broad swath of safety topics, but we also have managed to build in time for networking, fun and perhaps a little relaxation.
I am especially pleased to welcome Willie Walsh, chief executive of International Airlines Group, as our keynote speaker. Willie, who launched his aviation career as a cadet pilot with Aer Lingus in 1979, is widely recognized as one of the airline industry’s leading executives. I’m looking forward to his remarks.
Of course, IASS would not be possible with the support of our sponsors and exhibitors. A special thanks goes to Capt. Conor Nola…
