company overview
Overview
At Avisure, we aim to be the world’s most influential
private organisation for the advancement of aviation
risk management. We are regarded as industry leaders
in managing aviation hazards by applying a safety
management system approach. Since 1996, our expert
team has worked with some of the world’s busiest
airports, including Changi International Airport,
Sydney International Airport, and Vancouver
International Airport. Our team also works with
airlines, aviation regulators, policy developers, pilots,
and airport safety teams. We provide industry
guidance through our involvement with numerous
national and international wildlife management
committees.
We assist our clients to manage aviation risks in a
measured and professional manner to ensure an
operationally-focused approach. We understand that
aviation accidents can lead to litigation, damage
reputation and brand, reduce profits and, in the worst
-case scenario, cost lives.
History
Managing Director, Phil Shaw, began consulting to
airports in 1996 operating under Avisure’s sister
environmental consulting company, Ecosure. Between
1996 and 2008, Ecosure’s aviation business grew
significantly, prompting the formation of a separate
company dedicated to mitigating the wildlife strike
risk on airports - Avisure.
At the time, Avisure had a team of nine highly
specialised wildlife biologists dedicated to our airport
clients, supported by one administrator. We
developed a reputation as the industry leader, so our
client base not only increased in size, but also
diversified to include the Department of Defence,
regulators, airlines, government departments and
numerous other industry stakeholders.
In 2012, we established our North American office in
Vancouver, engaging an additional 18 staff that
operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year.
Understanding that wildlife strike risk is but one
component of aviation risk management, we
expanded our expertise by including an airport
operations specialist to assist airports in their general
safety and risk management. This addition provides
leadership and support for an existing team crosstrained
in wildlife management and airside
operations.
As of 2019, our team of 35 staff have delivered
projects to more than 130 clients throughout
Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, Canada and the
Middle East, completing more than 550 projects
related to aviation risk management.
