Aviation safety concerns

Cybersecurity According to data collected and reviewed by the EASA Cyber Threat Intelligence Team, DDoS attacks and ransomware are currently the most common threats to the aviation industry

DDoS and defacement attacks rarely have a major impact on critical systems of the targeted organisations and are often carried out by cyber activists

This increases the risk not only of birds and insects nesting in stored aircraft and equipment, but also the risk of bird strikes to aircraft once airborne

Parked aircraft on closed runways and taxiways are at risk from ground damage

Aerodrome surfaces may deteriorate due to long-term static load

This fact itself is no accident: the visionaries who conceived the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation, which is the foundation of international air connectivity and ICAO itself, fully understood the imperative of placing safety as the first priority of flight
