FATIGUE & CHAOS Unlike last summer, this year EASA took a proactive approach to prepare for the expected air traffic chaos in summer 2023. A Task Force (TF) was convened early on to address potential disruptions and ensure safety. ECA participated in the TF meetings from April to July and provided operational feedback and advocated for proper planning, fatigue management, and caution against operational and commercial pressures. This led to an EASA Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) focusing on air operations and addressing the concerns raised by ECA. However, some air operators disregarded the SIB’s recommendations, indicating a lack of oversight by National Aviation Authorities.
