Safety

The improvement of aviation safety is the number one priority for ANSPs. Air Traffic Management seeks to reduce incidents that compromise safety while at the same time accommodating an ever-increasing number of flights, and improvements in airspace efficiency. New technologies and procedures are being introduced to achieve these aims, and CANSO’s safety work programme is designed specifically to help ANSPs improve their safety through elements such as safety management systems and benchmarking. The focus of CANSO’s safety network is the Safety Standing Committee, which meets once a year for a major seminar. Throughout the year subcommittees of the Standing Committee meet to further the CANSO safety work programme.
