Bombardier manufactures a variety of business aircraft models, provides engineering, and aircraft maintenance services.

Bombardier has opened registration for its Flight Attendant Safety Summit (FASS), scheduled for August 5 to 6 at the company’s Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre in Montreal. The event is held in collaboration with Bombardier’s Safety Standdown program and is open to all aviation professionals.
Kristopher Cannon, founder and president of Aviation Secure, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bombardier-safety-standdown_we-are-pleased-to-welcome-back-kristopher-activity-7467611028789362690-8haa?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAANtGpQBf5aN8tIEpL0Yf51dPuV8mBYkaJg">will return as a presenter</a>, leading a session titled “Closing the Security Gaps.” Cannon, a nationally recognized aviation security consultant and corporate pilot, will cover identifying and managing everyday security risks across hotels, transportation, airport environments, and crew routines using interactive tabletop scenarios and analysis of recent incidents.
The summit grew out of advocacy from Bethan Williams-Velenosi, Bombardier’s chief of cabin experience and lead flight attendant, who serves on the Safety Standdown Advisory Council. In a May 2025 article, Williams-Velenosi wrote that corporate aviation often lags behind commercial airlines in standardized cabin crew safety training.&nbsp;
“Our commercial colleagues would never dream of allowing an unqualified individual to be responsible for passenger safety in the cabin,” she <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-08-06/bombardier-set-third-flight-attendent-safety-summit">said</a>. “Why should we accept anything less in corporate aviation?” She also cited NTSB findings that cabin crew training has not always adequately prepared flight attendants for accident response, pointing to incidents including the Japan Airlines A350 runway collision in Tokyo and the Delta Air Lines CRJ900 that flipped upon landing in Toronto as examples of aviation’s unpredictability.
Bombardier’s third annual FASS, held in August 2025, was expected to draw more than 150 flight attendants and featured speakers including Fireside Partners president and CEO Don Chupp alongside Cannon.
