Focus Area - Safety Development
Safety is paramount to any airshow or flying display, whether it is safety on the ground or in the air. A high profile incident involving an airshow, has both human and reputational costs, which are not tolerable for the future of airshows. It is key to the future of the industry, display flying and events, that we constantly strive to make our industry as safe as possible, for our airshow family, visitors and supporters. Airshows are safe events, but we must continually focus our attention to being on top of our game, ensuring we exceed expectations in all areas of safety.
