Industry Partners Discuss Turboprop And Regional Jet Challenges
The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) recently hosted a virtual safety forum for turboprop and regional jet operators, bringing together 15 regional airlines and industry partners, including ATR, Embraer, and De Havilland Aircraft of Canada. The forum featured a confidential exchange of aggregated safety data, allowing participants to discuss common operational challenges and lessons learned without revealing individual carrier experiences. The event also included updates on two AAPA-led projects: the Asia Pacific Flight Path Management Manual and the Asia Pacific Crew Resource Management Manual. According to AeroTime, the forum demonstrates the willingness of operators and industry partners to collaborate on strengthening aviation safety across the region.
