DUBAI- The UAEs General Civil Aviation Authority, GCAA, will hold a Safety Campaign event in Dakar, Kenya, with the support of Pratt and Whitney Canada.
The event, which will take place from 6th to 8th December follows the success of the 4th Safety Campaign event in Kenya, which was supported and organised by the GCAA, and held at the Ole Sereni Hotel in Kenya.
The Safety Campaign is part of the GCAAs wider strategic objectives to increase aviation safety awareness not only in the UAE but also around the world. It is also one of the GCAA's initiatives to support the Year of Giving by helping to improve aviation in emerging economies.
Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Director-General of the GCAA, said, "Given the complexity, volume and interconnected nature of air travel today, aviation safety is a global issue that affects everyone, ensuring that civil aviation operations and regulations conform to global norms is critical in every region of the world; nowhere more so than in emerging markets where critical infrastructure and training can often be lacking."During the conference, renowned speakers and international aviation experts will hold presentations and workshops to discuss key issues affecting aviation safety. There will also be a series of seminars hosted by international experts which cover Threat and Error Management, Emergency Preparedness and Maintenance.
Laila bin Hareb, Assistant General Manager of the Strategic and International Affairs Sector, said, "The Safety Campaign has been a great success, with renowned international experts lending their weight to the event. As a result, we are looking at holding another event at the end of the year. Safety must always be our number one priority and helping emerging markets as part of the Year of Giving will have a real tangible impact on the safety and security of a huge number of people.
