Embracing Innovation and Technology for Safe and Efficient Operations

The IATA World Safety and Operations Conference (WSOC) tackles all aspects of safety, including flight operations, cabin operations, maintenance, and crisis management (emergency response planning and aircraft recovery). It is an opportunity to meet, network and develop partnerships with aviation professionals and decision-makers, gathered over 3 days under one roof.

The first IATA WSOC took place in Vietnam in September 2023 with over 600 representatives from 58 countries who convened for this inaugural edition. 

The conference will feature over 45 hours of expert sessions over 4 tracks (Safety, Cabin, Flight Ops, and Crisis Management), will provide 15+ hours of exclusive networking opportunities, and will showcase the latest innovative solutions from sponsors and exhibitors.

 

Mr. Abdelhamid ADDOU, Royal Air Maroc’s Chairman of The Board & CEO: 

“Royal Air Maroc is committed to working with all stakeholders to maintain and improve aviation safety by adopting the highest industry standards in terms of efficient oversight processes, emergency response preparedness, human factors and technology relationship management, effective safety risk management and accident prevention programs. The signing of the Safety Leadership Charter Declaration is an example of our support for promoting a positive safety culture at all levels of our organization and across all operational areas. I would like to invite you to support these efforts and to plan for a brighter future for our industry. So, join us in Marrakech, so that we can share our experiences and lessons learned to continually improve operations efficiency, agility and business resilience, and to keep the skies and airports safer for the aviation community.”
