NATA is building the agenda for the 10th annual Ground Handling Safety Symposium (GHSS) in Dallas, TX, and encourages industry professionals to help shape the conversation. On September 15-16, 2026, the GHSS will bring together aviation business leaders, safety professionals, trainers, line service managers, and operational experts to share insights that strengthen safety, improve consistency, and help prevent incidents.
Past sessions explored safety culture, human factors, risk management, leadership and communication, training innovation, and real-world case studies. As NATA marks this milestone anniversary, the association seeks presenter recommendations and session proposals that offer operational relevance, actionable takeaways, and meaningful discussion for the ground handling community.
NATA invites members and industry partners to submit ideas that will support safer, more effective ground handling practices. Submit a speaker suggestion or session proposal to safety1st@nata.aero and include the following information:
