Who attends
EASA leadership and safety staff, NAA representatives from EU member states, heads of safety and training from European airlines, ATO chief instructors, ANSP safety leadership, and safety researchers.
Why flight schools attend
ATO chief instructors and safety officers find the EASA Annual Safety Conference uniquely valuable for understanding the regulatory direction EASA is taking — particularly on Part-FCL evolution, SMS implementation, and emerging safety priorities. Schools that proactively align with the conference content avoid being on the back foot when regulatory changes land.
