WATS

The World’s Number One Civil Aviation Training Event Celebrates 25 Years!

The World Aviation Training Summit (WATS) is the world’s largest gathering of aviation training professionals, serving airlines, aircraft manufacturers, regulators, training providers and the training industry, designed by and for aviation professionals.

It brings together leaders across the entire airline training community; training organizations and training equipment suppliers, academia, airlines and other aircraft operators, plus Regulators and NGO’s involved in airline training, standards, operational efficiency, performance improvement and safety.

WATS offers a relaxed yet professional environment conducive to developing new and building existing business relationships. WATS has unrivalled opportunities to meet with your peers from the senior echelons of the international airline training community.

For air transport training leaders, both suppliers and trainers, WATS offers a huge opportunity to save time and money offering the opportunity to carry out “three months worth of business meetings and discussions in three days.” Whether looking to validate current and future plans, source solutions and products, meet new and established business partners and hear how regulation may affect you, plus what is coming next, WATS delivers.
