Aviation executives from across the industry will gather virtually on day 1 of Flight Safety Foundation’s International Air Safety Summit (IASS) to address the unprecedented challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and outline how stakeholders are working together to drive economic recovery, protect passengers and employees, and ensure safe operations.
The 73rd annual IASS will be held 'virtually' on October 19−22.
The theme for this year’s event is 'Safety Leadership and Global Collaboration During Crisis'.
Following International Civil Aviation Organisation secretary general director Fang Liu’s opening keynote on October 19, Session 1 will feature an executive panel discussing the changes and challenges that are affecting the industry. 
The panel will comprise Alexandre de Juniac, director general and ceo of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Luis Felipe de Oliveira, director general of Airports Council International (ACI) and Simon Hocquard, director general of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO). 
The IASS 2020 program comprises a mix of live and pre-recorded presentations and panel discussions. 
The program will start in the morning in a different time zone each day so the sessions are convenient for as broad an audience as possible. 
For example, Day 1 will begin at 0900 EDT (1300 UTC), but Day 2 will begin at 0900 Central European Time (0700 UTC).
The program also features a series of on-demand sessions that will be available for attendees to view at their convenience, as well as opportunities for exhibitor/attendee networking.
