SAFETY POLICY

Safety policy — General

The safety policy is the means whereby the aerodrome operator states its intention to maintain and, where practicable, improve safety levels in all its activities, and to minimise its contribution to the risk of an aircraft accident as far as reasonably practicable. It reflects the management’s commitment to safety, demonstrates the aerodrome operator’s philosophy of safety management, and becomes the foundation on which the aerodrome operator’s management system is built. It serves as a reminder of ‘how we do business here’. The creation of a positive safety culture begins with the issuance of a clear and unequivocal direction.

The commitment to apply ‘just culture’ principles forms the basis for the aerodrome operator’s internal rules describing how ‘just culture’ principles are guaranteed and implemented, as required by Article 16(11) of Regulation (EU) No 376/2014.
