2026 FAA-EASA International Safety Conference: Deepening Cooperation to Advance Global Aviation Safety
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have formally reaffirmed their shared commitment to advancing global aviation safety at the 2026 FAA-EASA International Safety Conference.
Against a backdrop of rapid advancement in aviation technology, the two regulatory bodies emphasized their intention to address the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies through deeper collaborative mechanisms, transparent information sharing, and a continued foundation of mutual trust. Key areas of focus include the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), and the regulatory oversight of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The FAA and EASA have long played pivotal roles in shaping global aviation safety standards. The joint declaration issued at this year's conference reaffirms both agencies' resolve to work in concert as the global aviation industry undergoes a period of significant transformation.
The conference is widely regarded as an important milestone in international aviation safety cooperation, and is expected to have far-reaching implications for future drone regulatory harmonization, the alignment of flight safety standards, and cross-border regulatory collaboration.
