FAA–EASA SAFETY COORDINATION
FAA-EASA safety coordination remains a live transatlantic issue. EASA and the FAA have opened registration for their 16–18 June 2026 International Aviation Safety Conference in Chantilly, under the theme “Safety Together: Innovation, Integration and Trust,” signalling continued regulatory alignment on certification, oversight, and safety governance.
The June 2026 FAA–EASA conference is explicitly framed as a global forum with senior regulators and industry discussing important safety topics, which matters for operators relying on convergent safety expectations across the EU and US.
