Aviation safety

The safest way to travel is getting safer

Take off and fly with confidence as the aerospace industry continues to innovate to take the safety of air travel to new heights. Behind the scenes, dedicated experts work with cutting-edge technology from the aerospace industry to ensure the safety of every flight.

Every component used to build a plane has undergone rigorous development and testing to guarantee safety and reliability – every one of the 340,000 parts that make up a fully assembled Airbus A320, for example. And aerospace companies have pioneered the technology for integrated radar and surveillance sensors, cyber security solutions, and communication aids, making sure there is effective communication and monitoring at every flight stage.

Next time you fly, take a moment to appreciate the remarkable people from the aerospace industry. Their unwavering commitment ensures that air travel is the safest it has ever been. Wishing you pleasant and safe flights ahead!
