About Us
The Air Safety Group is a voluntary group founded in England in 1964. It is composed of aviation professionals who hold the view that there have been, and to some extent still are, too many preventable accidents to Commercial Air transport aircraft. Furthermore, some of these accidents and their resultant casualties arise from inadequate action on the part of the aviation industry and its Regulatory Authorities.
To address these concerns, The Air Safety Group has, since its inception, lobbied continuously to achieve improvements. Notwithstanding these concerns, however, the Group fully acknowledges the great improvement in safety that has come about since its formation. Throughout its history, Group membership has comprised engineers, pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors, journalists, cabin crew, meteorologists and parliamentarians.
Membership is open to any individual interested in furthering safety in Commercial Air Transport. Corporate membership is not permitted but the Group welcomes individuals from other associations and professional bodies as members in their own right. The Group is always willing to co-operate with other bodies with similar aims. The Air Safety Group has political affiliates in both the House of Commons and House of Lords but it must be stressed that the Group is independent and is strictly non-party political.
In January 2008, the Air Safety Group and the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in order that the ASG may provide aviation safety advice to PACTS.
Our meetings are held five times per year at various venues, generally, in London.
