Yesterday the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Airports Council International (ACI), signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) to provide a framework to jointly pursue the highest possible levels of safety at airports worldwide. The group objectives are to support the development of the ACI Airport Excellence in Safety Programme, designed to help airports worldwide to identify and address safety vulnerabilities; joint technical assistance projects; regular exchange of safety-relevant information and data and by providing mutual access to databases; exchanging experts and providing training; and promoting regional cooperation.
We hope that the action is more than just public paperwork on a grand stage. Maybe it will save some lives.
