ACI signed a Declaration of Commitment and
Collaboration in Airport Excellence (APEX) in Safety with PT
Angkasa Pura II (Persero) in Jakarta, Indonesia on Monday, to
launch the pilot APEX in Safety program in Asia Pacific.
APEX in Safety, a safety advancement initiative
of ACI, is designed to help airports worldwide identify and
address safety vulnerabilities and is built on the ICAO principles
of information transparency, in a non-punitive, ‘just culture’
environment, where sharing data and best practices lead to
excellence.
A team of safety experts from ACI, ACI
Asia Pacific, ICAO and safety partners from airports, including
Airports Authority of India, Incheon International Airport
Corporation and Airports Company South Africa, will spend the
following two weeks at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in
Jakarta, Indonesia to identify aerodrome safety issues and
recommend rectification measures based on ACI Best Practices and
ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices.
Mrs. Patti Chau, Regional Director of ACI
Asia Pacific said, “I would
like to thank PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), all the Safety
Partners and ICAO for their contribution to make this project
possible. The team has spent so much time preparing for this
safety review, looking for suitable safety partners, coordinating
with all the parties involved and reviewing all the relevant
information on Soekarno-Hatta International Airport for the Review
to go ahead.”
The Safety Review Team will work with the
Airport Management personnel of Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in Indonesia
to critically review the Safety Management System (SMS), airfield
facilities and operations procedures at the airport.
The review
will cover operational issues such as SMS documentation, aerodrome
manual, emergency plan, runway friction measurement, wildlife
control, aircraft refueling, airside vehicle operations, low
visibility operations and staff training.
A report will be compiled by the Safety Review
Team after the review and submitted to PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero),
highlighting the findings during the review and provide
recommended measures for rectification.
Mrs. Chau welcomes other airports in the region
to join in this APEX in Safety initiative. “Safety is the true
vocation for all of us in the aviation industry. We have a number
of similar reviews in the pipeline.”
