SEPTEMBER 25, 2019 DAILY NEWS BULLETIN — AVIATION SAFETY SHOULD HAVE NO BOUNDARIES, AND ICAO GLOBAL AVIATION SAFETY PLAN (GASP) NEEDS TAIWAN’S PARTICIPATION

  1. Today, the Taiwan ICAO Action Team met with allied nations including Eswatini. These countries uniformly support Taiwan’s participation in the ICAO Assembly and relevant technical meetings to ensure regional and global aviation safety. Furthermore, the Team also exchanged views with friendly nations on such relevant topics as unmanned aircraft, fatigue management for air traffic controllers, environmental protection, and bilateral air transport cooperation, and also shared Taiwan’s experience and management methods on noise compensation, unmanned aircraft management, and the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP). In the future, Taiwan will continue to maintain contact with these countries, and communicate relevant topics.
  2. The ICAO Assembly is in the process of discussing the 2020-2022 edition of the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) proposed by the ICAO Council. The first edition of GASP was issued in 1997, and GASP was used to be a guiding principle in global aviation safety measure development strategies and timetable of the Organization. The content of GASP includes promotion priorities and improvement strategies, national goals of each country, roadmap for future tasks, and implementation timetable. GASP is revised once every three years; the current edition of GASP is 2017-2019, and was issued in 2016.
  3. The content of the 2020-2022 edition of the GASP promotes the implementation of safety management and a risk-based approach as tools to help manage increasingly complex aviation systems, strengthen States’ safety oversight capabilities, and increase collaboration at regional level.
  4. Information exchange and sharing should be emphasized on safety management. Taiwan has not only established a civil aviation State Safety Program (SSP) based on ICAO Safety Standards and Recommended Practices, but also supervised airlines to establish Safety Management Systems (SMS) by themselves. At present, Taiwan’s civil air transport enterprises and major repair stations have already established SMS, and their operation is becoming increasingly mature. Since aviation safety should have no boundaries, ICAO’s aviation safety undertakings need Taiwan’s participation. We therefore hope that participation in ICAO’s technical meetings and activities will enable us to share our accumulated data and experience with the world. We also hope to obtain more systematic and broad-scale information from the international sphere for improving regional and global aviation safety.
