The workshop, scheduled for October 28–29, will cover critical topics related to aircraft accident investigations, including processes, reporting, and data analysis. Experts from AAIB, DGCA, and international agencies will conduct technical sessions aimed at enhancing investigative capabilities.
Subsequent meetings on October 30–31 will involve discussions among ICAO representatives and regional authorities to further develop cooperation and strengthen accident investigation mechanisms across the Asia Pacific region.
