2005 Apron Safety Survey:Full year data

2005 saw a decline in most figures:

- Number of airports responding: - 1 % (187 → 185) - Number of incidents/accidents: - November 2005: - 11 % (274 → 244) - Full year 2005: - 15 % (3,233 → 2,742)

A decrease in incidents/accidents can be deducted:

- Average percentage change: - November 2005: - 17.5% - Full year 2005: + 7.2%

Apron Safety Survey:Proposed changes

Re-define the ACI Apron Safety Survey:

• Reliable, accurate statistics• Show the “real picture” of apron safety• Improve reporting methods

New Survey:

• Focus on long standing reporting airports (year on year)• Reduce number of airports responding but increase quality of data• Collaborate closely with the regional offices for data collection

New Survey Breakdown:

• Target 100 specific airports• Multiple airports from each ACI region

• Specific number of small/medium/large (traffic)

Comparison of a the same airports year on year will make the trends identifiedmore accurate
