ICAO Will Be The Focal Point For Coordination
ICAO, the United States DOT, the EU and the International Air
Transport Association have formally agreed to create a Global
Safety Information Exchange (GSIE) to help reduce the risk of
accidents and improve the overall level of aviation safety
worldwide. The announcement was made on the opening day of the
Organization’s triennial Assembly.
“The more effective and widespread sharing of safety
information by regulators and industry can help to better identify
existing and emerging risks in air transport operations, making it
possible to take action before safety issues result in
accidents,” said Raymond Benjamin, ICAO Secretary General,
following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by the four
parties on establishing the GSIE.
While all four bodies currently gather and analyze their own
safety information, notably through accident reports and safety
audits, this information is not readily accessible to the other
parties or to other aviation stakeholders.
The new GSIE framework will identify the information that will
be exchanged and establish procedures for sharing the information
multilaterally. This will be done in the most efficient and secure
manner possible, taking into consideration existing confidentiality
legislation and agreements. ICAO will act as the focal point for
coordinating the collection, analysis and exchange of aviation
safety information among the members of the GSIE and for
disseminating pertinent information to the global aviation
community. In addition, criteria will be established to allow
additional parties to join the GSIE.
