MONTREAL, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced that its 4th annual Flight Attendant Safety Summit (FASS) is returning to Montreal for another year of invaluable knowledge-based training, hands on workshops and life-long learning opportunities.

This free safety seminar is open to all flight attendants and aviation professionals, regardless of the aircraft type they fly on.
Presented in collaboration with Bombardier’s renowned Safety Standdown event, the Flight Attendant Safety Summit is open to flight attendants, managers, directors, CEOs and pilots.
