Effective safety management has always been a key objective for the broader airworthiness sector. This Special Issue is focused on safety themes with implications on airworthiness management. It offers a diverse set of analyses on aircraft maintenance accidents [1,2,3,4], empirical and systematic investigations on important continuing airworthiness matters [5,6,7] and research studies on methodologies for risk and safety assessment in continuing and initial airworthiness [8,9,10]. Overall, this collection of papers is a valuable addition to the published literature, and I am confident that the readers of Aerospace will find that useful.
