Security Leaders Assemble To Assess Overflight Risks
WORC 2024 will to mark the 10th anniversary of the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17

Security experts from government agencies and aviation businesses will address the increasingly complex threats to flights at the first World Overflight Risk Conference (WORC) next month. The event is being jointly organized by EASA and security consultancy Osprey Flight Solutions and will be held in the Polish capital Warsaw from July 2 to 4.

WORC 2024 has been timed to mark the 10th anniversary of the shoot-down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine by Russian-backed forces. Proceeds from the not-for-profit event will be donated to victims groups associated with this attack, and also to those who lost relatives when Iranian air defense missiles destroyed Ukrainian Airlines flight PS752 soon after it took off from Tehran in January 2020.
