Safety Concern

Our approach

Safety is our priority as a core element of our business. When it comes to Safety, we go the extra mile. We follow best practice systems and rigorous processes, to ensure safe journeys for our customers and a safe working environment for employees and interested parties.

Safety management and oversight

In line with the Safety Policy Statement, the ultimate responsibility for safety management lies with NAM Air President Director. In addition, the Senior Manager Quality, Safety and Security accountable to the relevant regulator for safety and compliance. The Senior manager has a remit to act independently on quality, safety and security matters without operational or commercial constraints. The Senior manager reports directly to the President Director and has regular access to the Chairman. The Safety Committee regularly reviews the effectiveness of safety management processes on behalf of the Safety Board. This includes reviewing the ongoing development of our Safety Plan, which details planned improvements to the safety management system.

Safety processes

Our safety processes have risk management at the heart of their approach. There are a number of functional safety action groups responsible for identifying, evaluating and controlling safety-related risks, chaired by the appropriate managers.
