CANSO Global Safety Achievement Award 2023 – Nomination Form
The safety of aviation continues to be the number one priority for all of us in the ATM industry and, while 2023 has continued to see an improvement to air traffic numbers following the pandemic it still presents a number of challenges, not least through the rapid rebound in global air travel demand and the increasing use of digitalisation and artificial intelligence.
CANSO recognises and acknowledges safety excellence with the CANSO Global Safety Achievement Award.
With that in mind, it is time once again to recognise those who went above and beyond the safety call of duty, with the launch of the CANSO Global Safety Achievement Award, 2023.
Each year this award is given to a company or team that has made a significant safety contribution which has reduced aviation risk in the previous 12 months. This may be a local, regional, or global contribution and may encompass a process, procedure, technology, or training improvement. Nominees do not have to be members of CANSO.
The deadline for nominations is 6 October. The winner will be announced at the CANSO Global Safety Conference 2023, in Dublin, Ireland, in November, and showcased across CANSO’s global platforms.
