Description

This panel will explore the complex challenges faced by airlines and regulators as they navigate air travel through conflict zones around the world. With rising geopolitical tensions, airlines are increasingly rerouting flights to avoid dangerous airspaces, and in some cases, suspending routes altogether. The discussion will delve into the operational and safety risks associated with these decisions, including the growing threat of GPS spoofing that compromises aircraft navigation and avionics systems. Panelists will share their experiences, best practices, and strategies for mitigating these risks, ensuring the safety and reliability of global air travel in an increasingly volatile environment.
