ICAO: GANP and GASP crucial to addressing safety and sustainability goals

ICAO secretary general Dr Fang Liu​, speaking at the 2019 Safeskies Conference, stated (17-Oct-2019) the implementation of the recently revised ICAO global air navigation (GANP) and global aviation safety (GASP) plans will underpin the continued safe and sustainable development of the international air transport network. The ICAO Assembly recently endorsed new revisions to GASP and GANP. According to ICAO, these revisions will be instrumental to managing the adoption and integration of the next generation of aircraft and operations, as well as achieving the organisation's "aspirational safety goal of zero fatalities in commercial operations by 2030 and beyond." Dr Fang stated achieving this will require addressing 'high-risk categories' of occurrences, which have been recognised in the GASP as controlled flight into terrain, loss of control in flight, mid-air collision, runway excursions, and runway incursions.
