EU and US promote data sharing at aviation summit
Improved data exchange between regulators can contribute to higher aviation safety. Aviation leaders therefore put “open data sharing” at the top of the agenda at this year's EU- US International Aviation Safety Conference, which takes place recently in Prague.
More than 400 international experts examined the role that data exchange and new technologies can play in producing better safety regulation. Special emphasis was given to the involvement of aviation growth regions, including Asia and Africa.
Opening the conference in Prague, Patrick Goudou, Executive Director of the European Aviation Safety Agency said, “the Czech Republic is an important country for aviation in Europe. The Agency wants to benefit from the experience of national civil aviation authorities and to draw from this expertise when we discuss issues at global level”.
The annual EU-US Aviation Safety Conference aims to promote co- operation and mutual recognition of safety standards. The conference location alternates between Europe and the USA.
