Strengthening aircraft systems and design standards, operational safety and procedures, and general aviation and recreational flight safety were among key areas that the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) spotlighted as it sought to address the recommendations it received as a result of accident investigations and other safety reviews.

In its newly released Annual Safety Recommendations Review, EASA reported receiving 39 recommendations in 2025 from investigations of 20 events: 13 accidents, five serious incidents, and two incidents. Most of these came from safety investigatory agencies within the EU. None involved uncrewed aerial vehicles.
