Recent events should be “a call to action” for aircraft operators to review their organizations to ensure that deviations from policy or unsafe acts are brought into compliance, NTSB board member Michael Graham told attendees at the 2025 Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) Safety Symposium this week. “It’s clear that while significant progress has been made, there’s always room for improvement,” he said.

Graham noted that companies should focus on building resilient operations—and that requires learning from the smallest of errors. “Major accidents can shake public trust in aviation, but minor incidents can, too. Each member of the aviation community—from operators to regulators to air traffic control, and everyone in between—plays a crucial role in maintaining public trust.”
