Plan Now for IASS

The 61st International Air Safety Seminar (IASS) will be held Oct. 27-30, 2008 at the Sheraton Hotel and Resort Waikiki. IASS, begun in 1947, is held annually to discuss the latest air safety initiatives and technology. The IASS draws as many as 600 representatives from 50 or more countries. Since 1992, the IASS has been conducted as a joint meeting with the International Federation of Airworthiness (IFA). Since 1995, the meeting has included the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Don't miss the opportunity to network and exchange information with industry leaders from airlines, corporate flight departments, manufacturers, civil aviation authorities, educational institutions and others. Last year over five hundred fifty decision-makers from 59 countries attended the IASS and we hope you will take part this year. This year's topic areas will include; shortage of qualified personnel, regulatory and training issues, runway safety, hazard identification and risk management, safety-enhancing technologies and current safety strategies.
