Airworthiness & safety
Safe skies today and tomorrow
Flying is the safest means of transport in the world. To make this a reality, it takes state-of-the-art equipment, well-established control and maintenance processes, and permanent coordination among all stakeholders involved – for all of these three elements, the European aeronautics industry is a key provider.
ASD has several Working Groups dedicated to safety and airworthiness matters. At the European level, ASD liaises with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Eurocontrol and representatives of EU institutions such as the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE). Safety and airworthiness issues are also high on the agenda of ASD’s activities within the international organisation for aerospace industry associations (ICCAIA) and towards the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Millions of people fly every day – based on a feeling of trust in our products and services. As manufacturers, we are aware of this huge responsibility, and strive towards making the safest means of transport even safer.
