Event Details

The aerospace industry is progressing beyond recovery into growth, and our skies and shopfloors are getting busier. As the industry recruits fresh talent and as the tempo of operations picks up, safety must remain our top priority. It is in this spirit that we are organising the inaugural AAIS Industry Safety Week from 14-18 November.


To kick off Safety Week, AAIS is proud to bring together a panel of speakers comprising representatives from CAAS, Rolls-Royce, and Bell Textron Asia, to give their take on Aviation Safety in Aerospace MRO and Manufacturing organisations. Join us for this opportunity to learn and discuss best practices for implementing effective Aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS) in aerospace MRO and manufacturing organisations.


This is a hybrid event and we highly encourage in-person participation for robust discussions. Please register by Friday 11 November to join us.
