ABOUT THE EVENT

The ALTA Aviation Safety, Flight Ops & Training Summit will be a unique meeting for all professionals who dedicate themselves daily to seeking the highest levels of aviation safety and operational standards in the region.

After a successful Pilot Training Connect in September 2023, which was the first event of its kind in the Latin America and Caribbean region, the pilot training discussion will be joined next year by ALTA’s long time recognized Safety summit, which incorporated Flight Operations aspects at its latest event in June 2023, thus integrating all airline operational aspects at a single event.

Safety, Flight Operations, and Pilot Training professionals from different sectors of the industry will come together to discuss current and relevant topics in these areas. Representatives of airlines, manufacturers, civil aviation authorities, airports, air traffic control organizations, aviation schools, associations, training facilities as well as other sectors of the industry will be present.

Join us in 2024!

The ALTA Aviation Safety, Flight Ops & Training Summit will be held in Lima, Peru, on June 18-20.
