EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

Inaugural meeting of the ECAC Network on Diversity and Inclusion

Videoconference, 27 January 2023 — Diversity and inclusion have become priorities in several industries, including the aviation sector. Recognising the importance of this, an ECAC Network on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in civil aviation was created in December 2022, with the main objective of promoting the sharing of knowledge and experience notably on how to leverage D&I for organisational excellence between representatives in ECAC Member States.

A more diverse workforce will bring a wider range of perspectives, experiences and skills to the table, leading to better decision making, innovation and improved overall performance.

The participants discussed the work programme and activities of the group in 2023, and agreed to share national D&I initiatives and lessons learnt, develop good practices that would then be shared with all Member States, and create a comprehensive D&I strategy for ECAC.
