Aviation has been hit response to the COVID-19 crisis. Ihard by the global pandemic with safety and security having to It’s important to remind ourselves, however, that while the global adapt and evolve at pace in order to meet new challenges that pandemic has thrown up a whole new set of safety and security challenges threaten to disrupt the industry. Photos of grounded aircraft might for aviation, terrorist strikes, geopolitical posturing, cyberattacks, remain etched in our memory, but behind the scenes, airports, mechanical faults, disruptive passengers, data breaches and airspace airlines and the rotorcraft community have remained open and protection remain at large and continue to threaten to disrupt the operational with staff and passenger safety and wellbeing at the industry. However, if the last year or couple of years has taught us forefront as stakeholders have worked hard to cater for passenger anything, it is that aviation has proven itself to be a resilient, flexible and and cargo traffic and to keep critical supply chains functioning. vigilant industry. Across the aviation sector, stakeholders have had to adapt their The appetite for air travel certainly hasn’t waned. There is huge pent-up services and products to mitigate the risk of disease transmission, demand signalling that air travel will return to 2019 levels in the coming while meeting the constantly evolving security needs of air travel. years. And as we find out in this issue, aviation’s safety and security sector Antimicrobial technology, contactless kiosks and payment systems, continues to adapt at pace to ensure that passenger confidence is restored cleaning robots, sanitising booths, COVID testing facilities and and that aviation’s recovery is as strong, safe and secure as possible.
