System Approach to Aviation Safety
A modern aviation safety system requires a total system approach where each aviation service provider
(airlines, airports, ANSPs, maintenance organizations and ground handlers) operates as a component of the global aviation safety system.
Safety Management Systems enable organizations to proactively identify hazards, manage operational risks and ensure continuous improvement of safety performance.
