Over the past few decades, aviation industry has witnessed a continuous evolution in safety standards and safety regulations thus leading to the development of the current comprehensive safety and sustainability management systems. Throughout this evolution, the ultimate objective has been attaining the highest levels of flight safety and assuring sustainability thereto.

Advancements in aviation technology, such as introducing more reliable engines and navigation systems have considerably led to considerable reduction in aviation occurrences and accident rates, where the majority of today’s accidents became more and more attributed to human or organizational factors. Accordingly, safety and sustainability management systems emerged as sound sources of the most promising means for preventing these types of accidents.

A systematic approach to managing safety, including creation of necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures helps companies identify safety risks and deal with these risks so as to bring them to a minimum. A company that has incorporated such system into its operations would certainly attract more clients whether this company is an airline or a service provider. Sharing of success stories of such companies encourages other companies to put in place similar systems in order to manage and sustain safety requirements and standards.
