The conference will bring together global stakeholders to address a host of emerging operational issues including overflight of conflict zones, sharing of airspace with remotely powered aircraft systems (RPAS or drones), cyber security, fatigue risk management, safety management systems, safety culture and the effect of new technology on aircraft operations.
