Boeing donates $5.1 million to Embry-Riddle aviation safety centre

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has landed a $5.1 million donation from Boeing to support an aviation safety centre at the school’s campus in Daytona Beach, Florida. The university disclosed the donation on 23 March, saying the aid will help fund “independent research aimed at mitigating known and emerging operational safety risks”. The Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety will “provide a neutral, level-playing field where companies can share their best ideas and undertake objective research,” says Embry-Riddle president Barry Butler.
