We manage safety in a systematic, organised way in order to minimise risk. We operate in accordance with our organisational safety system manual and provide our staff with regular safety education and training. Monitoring all civil aviation orders (CAO’s) and civil aviation advisory publications (CAAP’s) ensure our compliance with all safety regulations.

It includes social and personal skills such as communication and leadership, as well as the physical and psychological factors that influence interaction with our environment. Human Factors are considered in conjunction with technical skills, both of which are important for safe and efficient aviation.
