IATA Annual Safety Report
Message from the Accident Classification Task Force (ACTF) Secretary: Hanada Said
This year, IATA proudly presents the 61st edition of the IATA Annual Safety Report. Since its launch in 1964, this report has evolved into an essential resource for compiling, monitoring, and analyzing accident data to enhance safety of commercial aviation.
Throughout its history, the IATA Annual Safety Report has continuously evolved, incorporating new technologies and methodologies to enhance its effectiveness. Its transition to a digital platform exemplifies this progress, making the report more accessible and user-friendly for a global audience.
A major strength of the report lies in its data-driven approach. It provides the users with the capability to analyse comprehensive data sets, identify trends and safety issues and develop targeted strategies for improvement. The IATA Accident Classification Task Force (ACTF) enhances this approach by validating accidents, classifying contributing factors, and formulating recommendations to mitigate accidents. This latest introduces a significant enhancement. the ability to access and visualize global and regional commercial aviation accident data since 2005. Additionally, users can now track the status of final accident investigation reports by region.
By leveraging this comprehensive data resource, the aviation community can make informed decisions and drive continuous improvements in aviation safety. As we mark the 61st anniversary of the report, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the progress made and reaffirm our commitment to prioritizing safety in commercial aviation.
IATA expresses its sincere gratitude to each member of the ACTF for their time, support, and valuable contribution to the IATA Annual Safety Report.
