BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Despite the fact that there is currently a significant reduction in air operations, the provision of air traffic services continues to be a fundamental part of the essential supply chain that enables us to face the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is expected that the gradual reactivation of operations will be carried out in an environment in which the threat from the COVID-19 contagion is still relevant. Consequently, the ICAO NACC Regional Office has taken the initiative to compile this material with the objective of providing information to States that may not be readily available or dispersed in previously prepared documents.
This webinar will discuss:
- ATS contingency planning principles
- Basic protective measures to be implemented
- Enhanced procedures for ANS facilities
- ATC operational environment, enhanced working procedures
- Personnel wellbeing
- Reactivation of Services
- Procedures to address compromised facilities
- Safety risk management
- Considerations with regard to safety oversight/CAAs
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Civil Aviation Authorities, Air Navigation Service Providers
