The IAFPA believes that through closer personal interaction of worldwide airport, municipal and industry specialists we can foster and enhance all aspects of training and operational procedures dealing with aircraft rescue and airport fire protection. Through the IAFPA we will offer our support and technical expertise to each other and international aviation regulatory agencies.
The IAFPA will work closely and cooperatively with other international aviation fire / aviation passenger safety organizations as a resource for their mission(s), and to offer our technical expertise, support, and assistance to promote improvements in matters that affect aircraft fire / passenger safety.
