VAI BRIEFS VAI to Host Annual Air Tour Safety Conference


FOLLOWING ASUCCESSFUL 2024 EVENT in Honolulu, Hawaii, the VAI Air Tour Safety Conference this year will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 21–22. Designed specifically for air tour operators, the


conference provides actionable safety strategies and practical tools to improve operational stan- dards across the industry. Tour operators, pilots, and aviation mechanics/engineers, as well as reg- ulators, safety experts, and technology providers, are again expected to attend this year, continuing the momentum built at the 2024 gathering. This year’s conference will spotlight high-


priority topics such as advanced flight-data tools, weather integration, and FAA policy updates. With the FAA’s safety management system (SMS) compliance deadline less than two years away, sessions focusing on SMS implementation will help operators get ahead of the curve. In addition, the US National Transportation Safety Board has been invited to present the


results of an accident investigation, providing attendees with in-depth analysis of the chal- lenges to operational safety. VAI’s goal for the 2025 Air Tour Safety


Conference is clear: elevate safety culture through real-world insights, expert panels, and industry collaboration. Registration details and hotel accommoda-


tions will be available soon at verticalavi.org/ atsc.
