CANSO Global Safety Achievement Award 2022 – Nomination Form

The 2021 winners were ENAIRE and CRIDA

While 2022 saw a significant return to traffic levels seen before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the speed of the return was not without its challenges for the aviation industry. And that wasn’t just the case of well publicised airport issues either. The safety of aviation continues to be the number one priority of all in the industry, and 2022 was not without its challenges, as passengers returned and conflicts restricted airspace.

CANSO recognises and acknowledges 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, 2022.

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 2 December. The shortlist will be announced on 3 January and the winner will be announced at Airspace World in March and showcased across CANSO’s global platforms.
