Aviation SMS

Ensuring the safety and security of the global air transport system is a major responsibility of governments (regulating and oversight) and aviation service providers (air traffic services, airports, airlines, aircraft maintenance organizations, aviation training organizations, etc.).

Experience shows that a successful and healthy air transport organization, whether it be a regulatory authority or a service provider, is one that has found a balance between its production (making profit) and protection (overall safety) goals. If this balance is not attained and effectively and holistically maintained, it is inevitable that the organization will either go bankrupt or be exposed to accidents.
