Runway Incursion Awareness & Prevention

Runway incursions happen on a daily basis at the world’s airports. Fortunately, most incidents are minor however; each one has the potential to develop into a catastrophic accident.

Runway incursion prevention is therefore a top priority for ICAO and every regulator throughout the world. The ICAO annual safety report for 2023 has identified global safety priorities where runway excursions (RE) and runway incursions (RI) are in the top five concerns.

This course has been designed to raise awareness of the danger of runway incursions and excursions by sharing information of Incidents (through case studies and facilitated discussion) and offering guidance to operational personnel about how airport operators, airlines and air traffic service providers can prevent runway incursions and excursions.

Benefits

The Runway Incursion Awareness and Prevention course will raise awareness of this key topic and give participants practical ideas which they can implement at their own aerodrome to enhance safety.
