Aircraft dispatchers live and breathe safety, it’s the very reason their job exists. The triangle of airline safety is airline crew, flight controller, and aircraft dispatcher. They are all an important pillar in airline safety. Sheffield School of Aeronautics is a world-renown school for aircraft dispatchers, and the most recent reports show that U.S. airlines are safer than they have ever been. The recent safety records are impeccable.
There is a cliché that goes, “travel by air is safer than travel by car”, and the cliché is true in this case.
It is very common to hear of planes crashing or going missing around the world, but it is less common to hear that United States airlines companies are actually safer than they have been in decades. When there is a peak in airline safety, airlines can infer that it is due to new, safer protocols and standards, as well as great aircraft dispatchers and flight controllers.
The American aviation industry has enjoyed the title of the safest country in terms of aviation. There are so few incidents on any of the U.S. airlines flights, that only about 3 passengers per 10 billion miles are ever injured. That’s a staggering safety record.
Aircraft dispatchers are a single, but important part of airline safety. Rigorous training standards from the FAA and experienced aircraft dispatchers make the difference. The sense of responsibility to the safety of all passengers on all flights is part of what makes airlines in the United States so efficient and safe.
For all the perceived downsides in American aviation: the long wait lines, overly rambunctious security staff, and multiple delays, passengers should rest easy knowing that they are still flying on the safest planes in the sky.
