Issues concerning flight safety have always been a priority for all members of the aviation community. But the growing intensity of flight safety concerns in Russia has caused not only members of the aviation community, but the society at large to search for new ways of increasing the level of air transport safety.

Expert exchange in international experience and best practices is vitally important for the development of complex measures and solutions of flight safety issues.

The organizer of the conference is the Air Transport Observer Magazine, Russia’s only airline business publication and partner to Aviation Week and Space Technology, with the support of the Air Transport Operators Association and Avicos-Afes insurance group. We invite state officials, representatives of Russian and foreign airlines, airports, technical services and training centers to participate in the “Air Transport Safety 2007” conference, providing the opportunity for a professional dialogue and taking one more step towards increasing the level of flight safety measures worldwide.

Main issues of the conference:

• Advancing flight safety system in Russian civil aviation

• ICAO initiatives in increasing the level of flight safety

• Flight crew and maintenance staff training for flight safety

• Supporting airworthiness as a key aspect of ensuring flight safety

• Development of aircraft component supply and operation control systems

• Ground infrastructure contribution to flight operations safety
