Safety - Malta

PRB monitoring

▪ MATS achieved its RP3 EoSM targets in 2020 and has since maintained this level. In 2023 safety culture was downgraded to level C, however MATS still achieves the RP3 target levels.

▪ Malta recorded a significant increase in the rate of runway incursion and a single occurrence of separation minima infringements (SMIs). The NSA is continually monitoring occurrences and results of the investigations carried out to ensure that mitigations are applied to reduce the risks.

▪ MATS do not use automated safety data recording systems.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet, or exceed, the RP3 target level. Two components “Safety Culture and Safety Assurance” were degraded from level D to Level C, but remained on the RP3 target levels.
