Eurocontrol and Flight Safety Foundation: partner for aviation safety in Europe. Eurocontrol and the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) have announced a new partnership to reinforce aviation safety in Europe and globally.

The partnership aims at strengthening cooperation between the two organisations in order to reduce aviation safety risk. Three key issues stand out in the joint work: mitigating the risk posed by the combination of growth in traffic and shortage of air traffic controllers and pilots; the need to create a ‘Just Culture’ in aviation; and the promotion of SKYbary, an online repository for safety- related information.

Under the terms of the agreement to be signed between the two organisations, the Eurocontrol Agency will serve as Fellow for Aviation Safety in Europe, responsible for coordinating the promotion and implementation of the FSF safety initiatives and products on the continent.

On its side, the FSF will promote Eurocontrol safety initiatives and products globally.
