The 2025 World Safety and Operations Conference (WSOC) will take place from 14–16 October 2025 in Xiamen, China, hosted by Xiamen Airlines, The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said.
“This year’s WSOC will have a future focus," said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
"Our efforts to date have made aviation operations safer. Evolving technologies, including AI, will enable us to do even better as the landscape of risks changes.
"WSOC is the opportunity to look at technology and risk as we examine topics including safely managing the proliferation of lithium batteries carried by travellers, GNSS interference near conflict zones, improving accident reporting, managing supply chain challenges, and maintaining spectrum integrity in the face of growing telecom needs. By addressing these and other issues today we’ll be better prepared to take on the challenges of the future,”
Zhao Dong, Chairman of Xiamen Airlines, looked forward to hosting the event:“Hosting WSOC 2025 in Xiamen highlights China’s important role in shaping the future of aviation safety. As one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing air transport markets, China has built a strong safety record while making significant investments in new infrastructure and technology. "
