Airlink and AviAssist partner to promote African aviation safety

South African airline Airlink has partnered with African non-profit aviation safety promotion organisation, the AviAssist Foundation, to present a Human Factors in Aviation course. The course is being sponsored by the Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and airframers Airbus, Boeing and ATR. The course is designed to advance and improve safety performance and practices, and embraces airlines, other aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, airports, ground handlers and aviation safety agencies. It will run for two days, September 19 and September 20, purposely timed to be straight after the African Aerospace and Defence 2024 show, for the convenience of delegates from other African countries. The course will cover human factors in teamwork, the management of stress and workloads, risk management, the making of errors, human performance, communication, and safety culture.
