How important are aviation accident investigations regardless of the country where they occur?

Even though this particular crash involves a Canadian investigation, it remains critically important because it involved a US air carrier (Endeavor Air) that receives FAA oversight. Aviation safety expert Jeff Guzzetti emphasizes that the location of an accident doesn't diminish its significance, stating 'just because it's in another country doesn't mean we should dismiss it.' All aviation investigations must proceed thoroughly regardless of jurisdiction because the circumstances of each incident differ. The ultimate purpose is clear – these investigations must take place 'so that we can learn and prevent future accidents.' This collaborative approach to aviation safety ensures that lessons are shared across international boundaries to maintain the remarkably safe commercial aviation system.
