The election of the new RESG Co-chairs took place electing the following members for the positions of the EASPG RESG Co-Chairs: Mr. John Thomson (UK) and Mr. Dragos Munteanu (IATA).
The groups discussed regional safety priorities, agreed to the specific regional safety assistance activities (to include webinars on runway safety and safe transportation of lithium batteries), debated on possible modification of EUR RASP 2023-2025, finalized the EUR RASP 2023 Survey (to be officially launched as of October 16, 2023) and agreed on follow-up update of EUR Safety Advisories. The issues of resources and need to avoid duplication of efforts led to the brainstorming on how the work of RESG and RESG RASP WG could be optimized in the future.
Results of these discussions will be presented to the upcoming meeting of their parent body (EASPG) during EASPG/05 meeting during November 29 – December 01, 2023.
