Jimbaran, Bali Province (ANTARA News) - The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) is holding an Asia Pacific Aviation Safety Seminar 2008 (APASS 2008) at Jimbaran, Bali, from Nov. 20 to 21 to discuss latest developments in aviation safety.
Some 150 participants from 17 airlines in Asian and Pacific countries are taking part in the seminar hosted by Garuda Indonesia, according to Garuda President Director Emirsyah Satar here on Thursday.
The seminar`s participants also include aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, aviation safety experts and academics.
The two-day seminar titled "Asia Pacific Aviation Safety" is part of ongoing efforts of AAPA members to continuously improve aviation safety in Asia Pacific.
The seminar was important because it would discuss the most crucial aspect of aviation, namely safety, said Satar.
Garuda, as the national flag carrier of Indonesia, was obliged to help the government develop and improve the safety aspect of aviation in Indonesia, he said.
The Garuda Indonesia chief hoped that domestic airlines would compete in improving aviation safety.
During the seminar, which was officially opened by AAPA Director General Andrew Herdman, the participants were expected to exchange ideas and discuss the important fundamentals and application of aviation safety best practices, in-service experience and lessons-learned with leading aviation safety experts from within and outside the region.
