The Safety Issue Hub supports the delivery of IATA Safety Strategy. The Hub is an internationally recognized repository of aviation hazards and safety risks to enable the prioritization and delivery of aviation safety improvement programs, for the benefit of reducing global accidents in aviation.
What's New
30 May 2024 - Coming Soon - IATA Connect
We have been working full force on a new platform for the aviation community called IATA Connect. Our aim is to offer a one-stop shop for documentation, information sharing, and collaboration for airlines, auditors, regulators, and aviation professionals. IATA Connect integrates the IATA Safety Issue Hub to share and monitor risks, obtain guidance material, and exchange risk mitigation strategies.
The Safety Issue Hub will provide more expansive information to support your understanding and assessment of safety issues, including issue proximity and detailed classification (such as CICTT coding and links with IOSA Standards and Recommended practices).
Additionally, IATA Connect will provide improved networking and collaboration opportunities currently hosted on IATA Safety Connect. The platform concept has been developed through extensive feedback gathering among airlines, auditors, and regulators.
While still under construction, testing and comment periods will take place with a wider audience in June to ensure the platform can be fully refined by the expected roll-out at the end of summer.
Stay tuned for future updates and information on the platform launch date.

Check out the latest additions
New Safety Issues:
- Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) Misinterpretation
- Aircraft upset/ unusual attitude due to pilot handling and/or turbulence
- Working around running ground services equipment (GSE)
Safety Issues with updated Guidance Material in March:
- Erroneous Performance Calculation - Safety Risk Assessment
- Runway Safety - Latest version of the runway safety action plan
- Unlawful Interference - GCAA - Safety Alert - Mogadishu
Safety issues are complemented with associated generic risk assessments and guidance material. On top of that, you have the opportunity to join our Safety Connect Initiative, which offers a unique safety management community for sharing best practices and safety knowledge
The introduction of a risk-based approach for the IOSA program complements the Safety Issues Hub with associated risk pictures will enhance the risk-based IOSA program by making it more targeted. The audits themselves will also gather de-identified operator risks to feed back into the hub.
Ensuring the continued confidentiality of contributors, the Hub will be matured by the incorporation of anonymized and aggregated insights from IATA’s safety, security and operational data sharing program - Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) and through the Safety Issue Review Meetings.
The benefits of the Safety Issue Hub to members and the wider aviation community include:
- Providing a central repository for information, guidance material, and generic risk assessments that support airlines' own risk assessments to inform their safety management system.
- Risk-based, targeted safety improvement programs delivered by IATA to support the mitigation of safety risks
- IATA’s Operational Safety Audits enhanced with regional and sector risk pictures
