SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SEMS)

The Security of your airline’s operations has never been more important

SEMS will become an ICAO recommendation within the next Edition of Annex 17 “Safeguarding International Civil Aviation Against Acts of unlawful interference” (9th Edition, not published yet).

Since Mars 1st, 2007, airlines must implement a SEMS to comply with the standards established within the IATA IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) program.

Security processes not only affect the safety of your operations, but have a direct impact on the effectiveness, efficiency and profitability of your airline.

Industry safety audits are directing airlines to implement security management systems.
