Five years have passed since the 9/11 attacks, yet aviation security remains largely without a cohesive strategy or direction. Our panelists represent different stakeholders from the aviation community and will come together to discuss a new approach to aviation security. In addition, they will examine innovative ideas for air security that could successfully meet the evolving threats facing the sector, including the threat posed by man-portable air defense systems often appearing in the form of shoulder-fired missiles. Join us as we examine alternatives for making the skies safer.
