EASA publishes 12th edition of European Plan for Aviation Safety
In the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS), EASA regularly identifies the main safety risks and other issues affecting the European aviation system and sets out the necessary actions to mitigate them.
This edition of the EPAS covers a shorter, three-year period from 2023 to 2025 and sets targeted priorities for that time. The intention is to create a better focus and therefore also faster, smoother implementation. The aspirational goal of the EPAS to ‘maintain collectively the pre-pandemic high aviation safety level throughout the recovery phase and improve safety post-recovery’ remains unchanged in this edition.
The EPAS strategic priorities for environmental protection continue to support the implementation of the European Green Deal, which sets an ambitious goal for the EU to be climate neutral by 2050. With sustainability crystalising as a business imperative, EPAS remains instrumental in ensuring an integrated approach to action planning and programming, so that sustainability solutions will not come at the expense of safety.
