Guidelines on the cooperation of between aerodrome operators and and ANSP to enhance safety

This document is the first guidelines jointly published by ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East and CANSO as a result of the agreement that the two associations reached at their first in-person meeting held in May 2023 in Kobe, Japan. The Kobe meeting was a culmination of a series of video conferences held between the two parties during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic from 2022 to early 2023 when international travels were severely restricted in the region. Despite the difficulties both associations demonstrated their sincerity and eagerness to collaborate in their common pursuit of safety.

This document provides guidelines on ensuring and strengthening the cooperation between aerodrome operators and air navigation services providers (ANSP) for the purpose of enhancing aerodrome and ANSP safety performance by suggesting areas of cooperation and methods of securing and promoting cooperation.
