In 2025 there was just one fatal accident per 5.6 million flights, and the IATA Safety Leadership Charter launched in 2023 now has more than 250 signatories, including most IATA members and the recent additions of dnata, Haeco and SunExpress.
The Charter outlines eight safety principles, and in 2025 IATA surveyed signatories on which principles resonated most, with fostering trust ranking highly; accident investigations indicate that trust and a positive safety culture are critical to preventing incidents, while people contribute to safety measurement through key performance indicators and more than 50 I‑ASC assessments have been completed.
