Conflict doesn’t affect aviation in one isolated way. It creates a domino effect across the system. It often starts with airspace. When airspace is closed, restricted or considered unsafe, airlines must adjust.
That immediately creates a more complex safety environment.
Airlines and states need to reassess risk continuously, especially where there are evolving threats, GNSS interference, drones or missile activity.
The next pressure point is fuel.
In this media briefing, presented during the 82nd IATA Annual General Meeting & World Air Transport Summit 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Nick Careen, SVP, Operations, Safety & Security, IATA, discusses conflict, airspace, supply chain issues, and also provides a deeper look at passenger behavior and safety during evacuations.
