ICAO Global Runway Safety<br />
Symposium<br />
David Gamper<br />
<strong>ACI</strong> took a leading role in the ICAO Global Runway<br />
Safety Symposium, held in Montreal from 24<br />
to 26 May. Director General Angela Gittens<br />
spoke in both the Opening and Closing Panels,<br />
alongside representatives of other international<br />
aviation organizations, who strongly agreed that<br />
a collaborative approach to runway safety would<br />
produce the best results. <strong>ACI</strong> also provided<br />
speakers on Emergency Response (Ms Deane<br />
Johanis, Manager, Emergency Management<br />
Systems, Greater Toronto <strong>Airports</strong> Authority)<br />
and FOD and Wildlife Control (Brett Patterson,<br />
Director, Airside Operations, Vancouver Airport<br />
Authority).<br />
<strong>ACI</strong> was a platinum sponsor of the event and<br />
obtained a large and well placed booth where<br />
presentations were shown on the <strong>ACI</strong> APEX in<br />
Safety programme, and <strong>ACI</strong> work on runway<br />
safety. <strong>ACI</strong> staff were on hand throughout to<br />
promote and explain <strong>ACI</strong>’s work including safety<br />
training courses and safety publications.<br />
Angela Gittens stated that improving runway<br />
safety requires relentless pursuit of an increasing<br />
level of safety, and that this strategic objective<br />
requires enhanced collaboration amongst all<br />
parties involved. To meet that objective, <strong>ACI</strong><br />
proposed a new paradigm where the airport<br />
takes the lead in coordinating all activities on<br />
its site, including all the relevant safety issues<br />
from aprons through the manoeuvring area, and<br />
especially the runway, where the big risks lie.<br />
Thus the airport should take responsibility for<br />
establishing and heading up local runway safety<br />
teams covering runways, taxiways and aprons,<br />
