IFALPA is committed to fostering inclusive Pilot Assistance Programs that enhance the health, wellbeing, and professional performance of airline pilots. These programs address medical certification, critical incident response, substance use disorders, training support, professional standards, and overall pilot wellbeing. By providing structured Peer Support and professional guidance, these initiatives help pilots manage personal and professional challenges, contributing to both individual resilience and overall flight safety. IFALPA encourages Member Associations to implement these programs with strong backing from regulators and operators to ensure their success and effectiveness.
