Summer Safety 2026

✈️ Join Europe’s Summer Safety Campaign 2026 – Go Safe Together

Summer is one of the busiest and most demanding periods in aviation. Higher traffic levels, weather disruption, operational pressure and seasonal risks require all of us to stay focused, prepared and connected.

That is why EASA is inviting the Air Ops Community to take part in Go Safe Together – a collaborative summer safety campaign for airlines, airports, ground handlers, maintenance organisations, ANSPs and authorities across Europe.

The Campaign has 2 Phases:

• Phase 1: Summer Safety Week from 1-5 June 2026 (Monday to Friday). 
• Phase 2: Ongoing summer promotion from 8 June through to September. 

One Week of Action. One Summer of Learning. One Industry Working Together.
