For matters related to cybersecurity, IATA estimates that both IATA and ICAO must work together to secure input of the industry on the matter.Īfter the ANC Talk, Nabil Naoumi, the President of the ANC and Gilberto Meyer Lopez, Senior Vice President, Safety and Flight Operations at IATA had a short discussion on the outcome of the ANC Talks. In order to address this point, IATA is undergoing a major digital transformation that intends to address three main points: facilitate data management and governance, become a collaboration platform linking airlines to airlines, airlines to regulators, and so on, and address the need to change traditional processes. New organizational models, with AOCs evolving into different structures or AOC holdings being created, to give a few examples, will certainly require oversight programmes to be better equipped. Throughout the discussions, IATA noted that it would have to deal with trends and challenges ahead. Of note in this regard: IOSA provisions are available online, which means that any airline interested in implementing such provisions can easily access the information. The operators present at the meeting, Air Canada and Air Transat, pointed to the value the IOSA and ISAGO programmes bring airlines and ground handlers with the level of consistency between stakeholders.
The audit programme is voluntary, as with IOSA, and in many instances, most of the customers are required by the government to follow ISAGO standards. The audit programme mirrors the IOSA in many aspects, and the objectives and process are very much the same. Today, a fairly mature set of standards and audit programme are in place to verify that those same standards are upheld by ground handling entities. IATA’s programme, the IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) which was created when airlines became concerned about safety issues related to ground handling operations, was also discussed. The IOSA certification is a mandatory requirement for airlines to become IATA members, but more than 150 non-IATA airlines have also chosen to be IOSA certified. Currently, between 230 and 250 audits are performed each year. The programme’s vision is to become a leader of operational safety based on three main pillars: safety (using ICAO SARPs as a reference), effectiveness (focusing on the implementation of provisions), and integrity (ensuring effective oversight of audit organizations and auditors involved in the IOSA process). The IOSA programme was launched more than a decade ago to ensure international safety standards for operations are met by airlines worldwide. In this first session, the focus on oversight programmes included IATA’s Operational Safety Audit Programme (IOSA), its standards and regulations, as well as the programme’s recent developments and industry trends and challenges.
#Air navigation commission series#
The first session of in the series of 17 talks involved participants from the airline industry: the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Air Canada and Air Transat. ANC Talks were created as a means for allowing ANC to engage with industry and aviation stakeholders to discuss different topics related to the future of aviation. Salvatore Sciacchitano, the Air Navigation Commission (ANC) launched a new initiative called ANC Talks. On Monday, January 27th, under the umbrella and guidance of the President of the Council Mr. In addition to the members of the ANC, a number of participants from States and industry participate in the ANC as observers. Instead, they act independently and utilize their expertise in the interest of the entire international civil aviation community. Although ANC Commissioners are nominated by specific ICAO Member States and appointed by the Council, they do not represent the interest of any particular State or Region. The Commission is composed of nineteen members who have “suitable qualifications and experience in the science and practice of aeronautics”, as outlined in the Chicago Convention. ICAO’s Air Navigation Commission (ANC) considers and recommends SARPs and Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) for adoption or approval by the ICAO Council. These SARPs and policies are used by ICAO Member States to ensure that their local civil aviation operations and regulations conform to global norms, which allows for aviation’s global network to operate safely and reliably in every region of the world. To reach consensus on international civil aviation Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and policies, ICAO works with the Convention’s 193 Member States and industry groups to support a safe, efficient, secure, economically sustainable and environmentally responsible civil aviation sector.
