What we do

At Safe Landing we aim to:

1. Empower – aviation workers to learn about the issues, so they can question existing strategies and protect their jobs.

2. Advocate – with trade unions for workers’ assemblies and with politicians and companies for meaningful change.

3. Educate – NGOs, policy makers and the wider public, to demystify the issues and challenge industry narratives.

"Being a Safe Lander member has helped me understand the complex challenges aviation faces and empowered me to have more conversations with colleagues about the issues. I'm so glad I joined."

Our theory of change

Workers' Assemblies

Workers’ Assemblies are like citizens assemblies but for workers… They’re a revolutionary way to empower workers on complex issues, and put them at the heart of decision making.

Common Misconceptions

Do you want to stop everybody flying completely?

No! We expect flying will always continue in some form. What we are challenging is excessive or unsustainable growth.

If we need to fly less, should I be ashamed of my industry or career choice?

Not at all. Safe Landing is made up of Air-trafficers, Pilots, cabin crew, engineers and more, and we’re proud of the work we’ve done – now we want to be proud of the future we’re working towards!

Surely aviation growth is good for jobs?

UK aviation now has less jobs than it did in 2007. And wages falling faster than any other sector. So who does growth benefit, if not the workforce?

Aviation regulation will effect the poorest worst

On the contrary, aviation tax and regulation has the potential to be environmental policy that is progressive rather than regressive.
