The 2024 Annual Safety Review (ASR) of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is now available online. The 2024 edition examines the safety performance of the European aviation system in 2023. This analysis, along with other evaluations conducted by EASA in collaboration with national aviation authorities (NAAs) and industry, supports the safety risk management (SRM) process that informs decisions reflected in the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS). Where risks are identified, further analysis is performed, and mitigation actions are included in the EPAS when necessary.
This year’s review introduces a new chapter focusing on unmanned aircraft system (UAS)/drone safety performance.
