✈️💙🧠 The stigma associated with mental health issues and the fear of losing their livelihoods discourage pilots and air traffic controllers from self-reporting mental health issues. By promoting a culture of openness and support alongside clear and protective policies, the aviation industry can make significant strides in addressing these issues, ultimately enhancing both the well-being of its workforce and overall flight safety.

Aviation is a team activity and amazing things happen when organisations work #together4safety. The concept of collaboration is at the heart of our safety promotion efforts. This is why it was a great pleasure to meet up with Dr. Hassan Shahidi from the Flight Safety Foundation during his visit to Cologne this week. Along with Harro Ranter, Mark Millam, Paige Kroner and Janet Northcote, we talked about how we can maximise our ability to reach safety leaders to really help drive the culture needed to enable staff to deliver safe operations. We have exciting news about our summer safety campaign coming very soon. Stay tuned...

Today, Flight Safety Foundation and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) signed a Memorandum of Collaboration to strengthen our partnership and advance global aviation safety. At a time when our industry faces increasing challenges, international cooperation is more important than ever. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to proactive safety leadership, knowledge-sharing, and fostering a culture that prioritizes learning and continuous improvement. Aviation safety cannot be constrained by borders, and by aligning efforts across regions, we can strengthen global aviation safety and ensure safer skies for all. Through this collaboration, we will focus on key areas such as information sharing, safety data analysis, training, and global safety promotion—ensuring that safety remains at the core of everything we do. By working together, we can drive meaningful progress, enhance risk management, and support a just culture that fosters continuous improvement. Thank you Florian Guillermet, Maria Rueda and the fabulous EASA team for the partnership. We look forward to building a safer, more resilient aviation system together. #EASA #FlightSafetyFoundation

An aircraft descends through darkness in mist and low clouds. The captain, perhaps because he misreads a chart, perhaps because he gets distracted, loses situational awareness. The first officer, busy with radio calls, does not catch the navigational error. In the cabin behind them, 150 passengers drowse, oblivious to danger. There is nothing wrong with the aircraft, and it remains under the captain’s full control. But aircraft is about to descend into a mountain. This is the second in a series on landmark events in aviation since Flight Safety Foundation began in 1945.
