IATA
building and monitoring - 'ground'
was introduced as one of the areas
for focus as it is often not the first to
be prioritized, " explain representatives
of IATA.
The first SIRM in Africa was
delivered in October 2023 in Nairobi,
Kenya. During the event, it was
noted that the post-pandemic period
has challenged the aviation industry
in numerous ways, none more so
than the ground operations domain,
according to IATA.
" The demands of the industry and
the consumer further challenge the
resilience of the workforce, placing
further pressure on a fragile
system, " affirm IATA officials. " So
how do we ensure that this critical
component in the aviation chain
provides and implements the safeguards
so required by the industry?
This was the question that was
explored by one operator in how to
support and evolve the risk management
principles within this domain.
The airline had a goal, which was 'to
objectively elevate ground safety to
an equal footing with flight safety.' "
The airlines should be applauded
for taking the lead in the matters of
driving safety improvement in the
ground operations domain, IATA
officials note.
" Understandably, the results will
not be immediate, but the shortterm
wins will no doubt lead to
greater long-term success, and we
look forward to updates on the progress
at future meetings, " they say.
CASIP launched with 12 initial
partners.
" The CASIP framework was drafted
and published in June 2023 with
three core workstreams introduced
to the program initially, " IATA
officials explain. " All workstreams
have been established, with initial
priorities for 2024 agreed upon, and
work programs being developed
and delivered. "
Ground handling was included on
the agenda of the 2024 SIRM/CASIP
meeting in Dakar, Senegal, this spring.
