The third annual European Air Transport symposium was held in Prague on 24-25 October 2012. 62 aircrews and airlift experts, representing 15 Nations (AT, BE, BG, CZ, DE, EL, ES, FR, IT, NL, NO, PO, SK, SE, UK) and relevant organisations (EATC, EAG, JAPCC, MCCE) had the opportunity to exchange views and experiences on several air transport topics, to identify common issues, problems encountered and lessons identified in recent operations and training missions as well as to propose new topics to be addressed in future symposia and training activities.
During the first day of the symposium the participants were briefed by qualified experts on topics such as the Precision Radio Navigation, Liquid Oxygen Transport, Precision Air Drops, Disaster Relief/Humanitarian Operations etc. During the second day subject matter experts had the opportunity to discuss the topics of the day prior in syndicate sessions.
The feedback from the participants was very positive and they offered significant proposals and lessons identified to be considered in the next editions of European Air Transport Training (EATT) events, as well as by the participating Member States air forces and air transport organisations.
The EAT symposium is one of the outcomes of the European Air Transport Fleet partnership.
