Dear ACSF Community,
In a world where global dynamics are continually evolving, it’s essential to keep aviation safety and security at the forefront of our priorities. As our industry adapts to changes, we want to emphasize the significance of maintaining a commitment to safety, ensuring that it remains a core value.
Recent economic pressures have led to a focus on cost-cutting measures across the aviation industry. While efficiency and cost-saving are critical, it’s equally important not to compromise on the safety and security of aviation activities, especially in international travel. These cost-cutting strategies should be assessed carefully, and in some cases, balanced with the security risks associated with global aviation.
Physical and Cybersecurity Risks:
As aviation entities explore international markets, it’s vital to assess and mitigate physical and cybersecurity risks. Ensure that your aircraft, crew, and passengers are protected, not only during flights but also at airports and during ground operations. Cybersecurity should not be overlooked, as international operations may expose your company to a new set of digital threats.
Reviewing Internal Procedures:
ACSF encourages all aviation organizations to regularly review their internal manuals and procedures. Take the opportunity to align your operations with the most current safety and security best practices.
Our Commitment:
The Air Charter Safety Foundation is committed to providing resources and support to aviation organizations as they navigate these challenges.
Together, we can continue to elevate aviation safety across the industry, always reaching for the highest standards of excellence.
Safe travels,
Bryan Burns
President and CEO
