Like Tweet Forward Cologne, March 31, 2017   EASA and Aviation partners launch Data4Safety On the 31st of March 2017 in Brussels, key actors[1] from the aviation sector (Airlines, Aircraft Manufacturers, National Aviation Authorities and Pilot Unions) agreed to join in a co-operative partnership named Data4Safety and initiated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Data4Safety Programme aims at changing from the current reactive approach to safety – which is based on accident and occurrence reports – to a proactive approach, analysing trends and situations which can lead to a safety hazard. Stakeholders within the aviation community will share data, information and knowledge in order to deliver safety benefits. Data4Safety will merge the very large and growing number of data sources available in the European aviation system and provide a critical mass of data. Analysis capabilities will be significantly increased thanks to the sharing of large amount of data and the use of the most advanced information and communication technologies in the fields of Big Data and Data Mining. In order to successfully implement one of the most innovative initiatives, part of the EU Aviation Strategy, the D4S members signed a programme charter which lays down the principles of collaboration, voluntariness, confidentiality and Just Culture. Patrick Ky EASA Executive Director said: "Data4Safety is a revolutionary project which will enable aviation stakeholders to significantly enhance aviation safety and may also be applicable to other means of transportation in the future, in particular rail and maritime".

Like Tweet Forward Cologne, March 30, 2017   EASA/ICAO forum results in a new global framework for regional aviation safety oversight organisations and improved cooperation in Africa Cologne, 30 March 2017 –The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) achieved landmark progress last week as hundreds of officials gathered from around the world for a special jointly organised Global Forum on Regional Safety Oversight Organizations (RSOOs) for Global Aviation Safety. Hosted in Ezulwini, Swaziland, on 22-24 March 2017, this important event endorsed a proposal for a new global framework for regional aviation safety oversight and made tremendous progress on key initiatives to improve the recognition, efficiency and cooperation of Regional Safety Oversight Organizations worldwide. The meeting participants also agreed to set up an RSOO coordination platform to facilitate cooperation between RSOOs. "EASA is proud to propose its support for this new global RSOO framework and platform. This will also add to the support that we have been providing RSOOs worldwide for some years now." said Patrick Ky, Executive Director of EASA, at the Global Forum. In conjunction with the Global Forum, a Ministerial conference with specific focus on Africa was held and  led to the signing of the Ezulwini Declaration of Regional Safety Oversight Organizations in Africa describing how African States will work together to increase their regional cooperation and improve aviation safety oversight continent-wide. EASA, being at the centre of the regional aviation safety system in Europe, will lend its experience to help further strengthen regional initiatives for the benefit of aviation safety globally, and to reinforce the process of integrating RSOOs into the global regulatory framework. EASA was mentioned as a practical example of how regional aviation safety cooperation brings added value and efficiency to air transport. More than 200 participants from 48 States and 32 International Organizations attended the event in Swaziland, with 13 Ministers attending the Ministerial event from DRC Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Lesotho, Mauritania, Nigeria, Togo, Sao Tome, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. RSOOs are an integral aspect of global aviation safety, and provide a cost effective mechanism for regional groups of States to pool their resources and strengthen safety oversight.
