Our Culture and our Values drive us to “get out there and make a difference."
Global Collaboration
Collaboration in our vision is not just about sharing information; it's about fostering a sense of shared destiny among the global aviation community. As president of IFALPA, I oversaw the expansion of our strategy beyond coordination – to one of activly building bridges over geopolitical divides and economic disparities. Global collaboration became a crucible for melding diverse perspectives into unified safety strategies. This strategic vision is not a static blueprint but a living, breathing organization that grows, learns, and adapts. This vision embraces complexity, anticipates change, and thrives on the collective commitment of the global aviation community to uphold the highest standards of safety.
Purpose-Driven Leadership
We are also here to have an impact, to make a difference. We are not interested in good ideas left on the shelf, or good ideas badly expressed. We believe that finding the right answer is a breakthrough, but making the idea tangible and implementable is equally important. We are not content with maintaining the status quo; our ambition is to innovate, expand, and influence our surroundings. We believe in the strength of collaboration, working together towards common objectives. This approach increases the chances of success in ambitious projects and brings greater satisfaction than working alone. To achieve this, we consistently focus on aligning our actions with our core purpose and values.
Preparation for Success
From the earliest days of flight, pilots understood the importance of adequate preparation. Many early aviators lost their lives in accidents, and our industry has suffered the terrible cost of learning only through tragedy. In the decades since, airline pilots have joined together to expand our ability to fly more safely and efficiently. By sharing data and experiences, we made aviation into the safest mode of transportation on the planet.
