Safety - Malta
PRB monitoring
▪ MATS, that achieved the EoSM targets in 2020, demonstrated good safety performance and continued safety improvements over 2021. MATS exceeded the RP3 EoSM target in safety culture.
▪ Malta’s runway incursion rate increased in 2021, which can be explained by the large increase in general aviation traffic. Specific mitigation actions were identified for the aerodrome users and ATCOs including constant monitoring, investigations, and ATCOs briefings to mitigate the risks and ensure that the occurrences are maintained at safe level.
▪ MATS should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
