Aircraft production issues have been the subject of significant public attention due to safety concerns in recent years and the crashes of two brand new Boeing 737 MAX planes. We believe that passenger safety should be a top priority for any aviation manufacturer and regulatory body. It is our mission to become strident and independent advocates toward returning aviation safety to the sector and holding those entrusted with the safety of all of us accountable.
Our foundation mission starts by bringing transparency to the forefront by uncovering the risks associated with flying on today’s commercial aircraft. We diligently research and analyze the latest safety reports, investigations, and industry developments, to ensure we are armed with accurate and unbiased information.
The Foundation for Aviation Safety works with leading experts in the aviation industry, including pilots, engineers, mechanics, technicians, flight attendants, air traffic controllers, flight dispatchers, and safety regulators, to ensure the accuracy and credibility of our information. By working closely with these professionals, we are well prepared to provide powerful advocacy to the projects we undertake.
We understand the importance of educating the public about aviation safety, and that's why we provide comprehensive resources and expert insights on our website. Through informative articles, research papers, and interactive content, we aim to empower the nation’s general public and lobby for change
