Dear Aviation colleagues,
Looking back at 2021, and even 2020, the industry has undoubtedly faced its share of turbulence from the health and financial challenges associated with the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. The industry as a whole has certainly been tested, and it was a huge test. However, we can now observe some positive signs of recovery, even if the world is not yet free of this crisis.
On the safety front, I am sure that everyone will agree that we have all been able to navigate through this crisis thanks to our collective resilience, which relies on our shared safety values. Reinforcing this resilience has remained a focus for all of us, from OEMs, suppliers, operators, authorities and aviation organisations. We need to maintain this focus to help address the challenges that lay ahead of us. Challenges such as getting out of the Covid-19 tunnel, managing our journey toward greater sustainability, and continuing to enhance our safety record.
A word on Airbus Safety first to say we are pleased to see more than 1,300 daily readers of articles on safetyfirst.airbus.com and the Safety first app in 2021, and this continues to grow. Let’s keep sharing our lessons learned and safety experiences, and keep up the connection with all of our aviation colleagues by sharing these articles.
The entire Airbus Safety team and I pass on our best wishes for open and clear skies ahead in 2022.
