What is the World overflight risk conference?

The World Overflight Risk Conference (WORC™) was created to bring people together to strengthen how the aviation community understands and manages overflight risk. Our mission is to help make the skies safer by giving stakeholders the tools, insights, and shared strategies they need to navigate an increasingly complex world. Featuring international speakers and expert panellists, WORC™ encourages participation from various sectors to break down silos, inspire action, and honour the victims of MH17, PS752, and AZAL 8243. The conference seeks to drive meaningful change across the industry, creating safer and better informed overflight practices.

WORC™ events

The WORC events aim to bring together the global aviation community to collectively address and explore the challenges associated with overflight risk. Key AIREP conferences focus on the risks of flying in conflict zones, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas within the industry.

A group of leading industry partners will host educational and collaborative events that concentrate on the risks faced by aviation when conducting flights over or near conflict zones. Aviation organisations, regulators, operators, insurers, analysts, data providers, and others will share a wide range of insights and methodologies for mitigating the risks associated with flying over or near conflict-affected airspace.
