WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have pledged to work together to meet the challenges of a fast-changing and evolving aviation industry and the increasing speed of development of future technologies. Leaders from the FAA and EASA discussed the renewed commitment at the 2024 International Aviation Safety Conference.

“Our aim is to promote a cooperative and collective approach to aviation safety and modernization,” said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker. “As we look to the next decade, establishing a unified strategic direction based on information sharing and collaboration with our international partners will meet the needs of our global aviation system of the future.”

“The aviation industry is in the fastest period of change since commercial flights began. New technologies are urgently needed to make the industry more sustainable. Other innovations, for example in artificial intelligence, are emerging rapidly and we have a generational change in the workforce,” said Florian Guillermet, Executive Director of EASA. “It is more important than ever that international aviation regulators work together to accompany the changes and ensure safety needs are always met.”

Discussions in plenary sessions and side meetings at the three-day conference around on the theme “Building foundations: Preparing for the next decade together” reinforced that strong collaboration between regulators is essential to keep pace with this rapid evolution.

The FAA and EASA pledge to:

Prioritize enhancing cooperative efforts at all working levels between our organizations.

Strengthen the focus and information exchange on safety oversight to promote a strong safety culture.

Optimize our resources and fully leverage the US-EU Aviation Safety Agreement, encouraging our technical experts to work together and rely on one another to reduce duplication of effort, taking a risk-based approach.

Deepen proactive collaboration on certification activities and on operational frameworks for new and innovative technologies.

Expand and target cooperation on rulemaking efforts earlier in the development process.

Promote aviation sustainability, particularly activities on sustainable aviation fuel development and deployment.

Partner to ensure goals of the Bilateral Enhancement Roadmap on certification activities are realized.

Reinforce cooperation on the analysis and mitigation of systemic safety risks as well as innovation and future aviation technologies.

Facilitate exchange and information sharing on topical areas and emerging risks facing aviation safety, such as cyber, conflict zones and GPS/GNSS interference.

The FAA-EASA International Aviation Safety Conference brings together around 400 senior aviation professionals from regulators, manufacturers, airlines and associations from all over the world. The event is held annually and is alternately hosted by the FAA and EASA. Next year’s conference will take place in Cologne on June 10-12, 2025.

华盛顿——美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）和欧盟航空安全局（EASA）承诺将共同努力，应对快速变化和不断发展的航空业以及未来技术发展速度日益加快所带来的挑战。FAA和EASA的领导人在2024年国际航空安全会议上讨论了这项新的承诺。

美国联邦航空局局长迈克·惠特克说：“我们的目标是促进航空安全和现代化的合作和集体方式。展望未来十年，在与国际合作伙伴信息共享和合作的基础上建立统一的战略方向，将满足我们未来全球航空系统的需求。”

欧洲航空安全局局长弗洛里安·吉耶梅表示：“航空业正处于自商业飞行开始以来变化最快的时期。迫切需要新技术来使该行业更具可持续性。其他创新，例如人工智能方面的创新，正在迅速涌现，我们的劳动力正在发生代际变化。”欧洲航空安全局执行主任弗洛里安·吉耶尔梅表示：“国际航空监管机构比以往任何时候都更加需要共同努力，陪伴这些变化，并确保始终满足安全需求。”

在为期三天的会议中，全体会议和会外会议围绕“共同为下一个十年奠基”的主题展开讨论，进一步强调了监管机构之间的密切合作对于跟上这一快速发展的步伐至关重要。

FAA和EASA承诺:

优先加强各组织之间在所有工作层面的合作努力。

加强安全监管工作重点和信息交流，促进安全文化建设。

优化我们的资源，充分利用美国-欧盟航空安全协议，鼓励我们的技术专家共同合作，相互依靠，以减少工作重复，采取基于风险的方法。

深化在认证活动和新技术和创新技术业务框架方面的积极协作。

扩大在发展进程早期制定规则方面的合作并确定合作目标。

促进航空可持续性，特别是关于可持续航空燃料开发和部署的活动。

合作伙伴，以确保《双边加强路线图》关于认证活动的目标得以实现。

加强在分析和减轻系统性安全风险以及创新和未来航空技术方面的合作。

促进就航空安全面临的热点领域和新出现的风险（如网络、冲突地区和全球定位系统/全球导航卫星系统干扰）进行交流和信息共享。

FAA-EASA国际航空安全会议汇聚了来自世界各地监管机构、制造商、航空公司和协会的约400名高级航空专业人士。该活动每年举办一次，由FAA和EASA轮流主办。明年的会议将于2025年6月10—12日在科隆举行。在这里了解更多关于FAA的国际工作和合作。
