Vietnam Airlines is the host airline of the 2023 World Aviation Safety and Operations Conference (WSOC 2023), organized by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), as per media reports.
The event will take place in Hanoi, from 19 to 21 September 2023. The event brings together the previous Cabin Ops Safety Conference, the IATA Safety Conference, and the Emergency Response Planning and Aircraft Recovery Forums.
Vietnam Airlines is being selected as the host airline reflecting the high standard of its operational and safety capabilities. The attendance of airline leaders and delegates around the world at the same event is a special opportunity for Vietnam Airlines to promote the beauty of Vietnam and enhance future network expansion and stronger economic ties between Vietnam and the world.
“Borders are open, airports are busy, and flights are full. As we rebuild airline networks and balance sheets, it is vital that all aviation stakeholders maintain the same strong commitment to safe operations that we exercised during the pandemic years.
The WSOC is the forum to discuss and debate today’s challenges and opportunities to keep the industry on a trajectory of improving safety and more efficient operations,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
