Technology, data, artificial intelligence and automation are transforming the way we manage risk; the conference will explore how the industry can best support the people whose skills and judgment utilize these advances into safe and resilient operations every day.<br \/>\nDelivering an opening address Turkish Airlines CEO Ahmet Olmu\u015ftur also participated in the CEO panel, \u201cGeopolitical Risk and its Impact on People Performance\u201d, sharing his industry insights on the first day of the conference.<br \/>\nCommenting on the occasion, Turkish Airlines CEO Ahmet Olmu\u015ftur stated: \u201cSafety is at the heart of everything we do at Turkish Airlines. The value of our investments in technology is realized through the knowledge, experience and sound judgment of our people. We believe a strong safety culture grows through continuous learning, open communication and a shared sense of responsibility. We are pleased to welcome the global aviation community to Istanbul for IATA\u2019s World Safety and Operations Conference. We believe the exchange of experience and the collaboration fostered here will contribute to the safe and resilient growth of our industry.\u201d<br \/>\nIATA\u2019s Senior Vice President, Operations, Safety and Security, Nick Careen said: \u201cPeople are the foundation of aviation safety. Technology can sharpen our insight and strengthen decision-making, but it is the skills, judgment and leadership of aviation professionals\u2014supported by strong global standards\u2014that turn these advances into safer operations. WSOC is about how we continue to invest in people, use technology with purpose and strengthen the standards that enable aviation to learn, adapt and improve. We thank Turkish Airlines for hosting us in Istanbul and for its strong commitment to safety, industry leadership and collaboration.\u201d<br \/>\nFeaturing four conference tracks which are Safety, Cabin Operations, Operations and Crisis Management, the program will examine topics including the impact of geopolitical risk on human performance, human-centered safety practices, the development of future aviation safety talent and human needs in emergency response planning. Workshops and forums will further explore airspace efficiency and resilience, data-driven safety analysis, emergency preparedness and turbulence.<br \/>\nBy hosting WSOC 2026, Turkish Airlines supports international cooperation and the exchange of operational experience, reinforcing a shared commitment to putting people at the center of aviation safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANIATION NEWS-\u00a0Taking place on 6\u20138 October 2026 under the theme \u201cPerformance Through People,\u201d the conference brings together the global aviation community to explore the role of people in maintaining safe and resilient operations.
