[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Asiana Airlines discussed measures to strengthen safe flight operations amid the COVID-19 crisis by leveraging its global network.

On the 26th, Asiana Airlines held an online seminar attended by over 50 flight training managers and staff from EVA Air, Japan Airlines, and Singapore Airlines to share flight training information and discuss ways to overcome the crisis, the airline announced on the 28th.

Asiana Airlines, EVA Air, Japan Airlines, and Singapore Airlines have been sharing information on flight training once a year since their first seminar held in 2018 in Taipei, Taiwan. In this seminar, the airlines shared their training programs aimed at maintaining flight crew’s safe operation skills amid restricted flight operations due to COVID-19 and discussed improvement measures.

Additionally, the four airlines shared cases of Evidence-Based Training (EBT) operations and discussed ways to strengthen training based on it. EBT is a program that collects information on abnormal situations occurring during actual flights, analyzes the causes, establishes recurrence prevention measures, and applies these to actual flight training.

EBT is a regular training method certified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and is gradually expanding worldwide. Among domestic airlines, Asiana Airlines is the only one to have introduced and operated it as a regular training method since 2015.

Meanwhile, Asiana Airlines plans to continue its activities for information sharing and strengthening safe flight operations by participating in the Asia-Pacific Airline Training Seminar (APATS), an online flight training seminar with over 50 airlines from the Asia-Pacific region, scheduled from the 8th to the 10th of next month.
