July 2014 turned out to be cruel month for everyone in the aviation business. The industry’s prayers are with all those who have lost their lives in the three tragedies that struck in July, and with their families and loved ones.
Every accident is one too many. The greatest respect that we can pay to the memory of those who met with an accident is to leave nothing unturned in our quest to understand the causes and to take steps to ensure that they are not repeated.
Safeguarding our customers as we transport them around the world forms the core of the mission of the aviation industry. In fact, it has been that way throughout our development over the last century.
The shooting-down of Malaysia Airlines flight 17 (MH17) was a particular outrage. It was a direct assault on the freedom of air travel that we take for granted. Civil aircraft are instruments of peace. They should never be the target of weapons of war.
Within days of this act, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) and the Airports Council International (ACI) joined with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to set up a task force to find ways of ensuring that civilian aircraft can never again become military targets.
