In order to improve Safety, techniques have moved beyond the analysis of isolated accidents to data-driven analyses of trends throughout the industry. This approach is supported by IATA’s Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) program. GADM is a master database that supports a proactive data-driven approach for advanced trend analysis and predictive risk mitigation. With application of GADM, the Safety Depart-ment would be able to provide comprehensive, cross-database predictive analysis to identify emerging trends and flag risks to be mitigated through safety programs.
Proposed new Safety Strategy
Following the recommendations made in IATA Safety Report of 2013, BIAL Safety is working on development of new Safety Strategies for 2014. This will ensure continua-tion of our ongoing efforts to regularly review strategic priorities to ensure they are still fresh and relevant to the aviation industry. The previous safety programs have made very significant improvements to operational safety to reflect the current opera-tional environment and to provide a framework for proactive initiatives to mitigate the main causes of aviation accidents and incidents.
The key pillars of the proposed Safety Strategy are a holistic approach in identifying organizational and operational safety issues. They are:
Regulatory harmonization.
Training.
Awareness.
Improved technology.
BIAL Safety will work closely with industry stakeholders to ensure each of these pillars is leveraged to address each of these safety strategies, namely:
Derive key factors for consistent improvement of SMS.
Workout effective training for all relevant stakeholders.
Identify and address emerging safety issues across the Globe.
Further reduce operational risk.
Enhance quality and compliance.
Strive for improved aviation infrastructure.

Air hostess falls from aircraft hit by catering truck
A stewardess preparing for departure, was standing in the galley
near the open exit door at the nose of the aircraft when the ca-
tering truck hit it. She fell off and was injured . The strike was so
strong that the aircraft turned by around three meters. There
was a gap between the aircraft and the tele-trap and unfortu-
nately she fell through it.
Pushback Tractor hits Jet aircraft
A pushback tractor was in the process of connecting to an MD-
80. The operator lost control and hit the nose of the aircraft.
Investigations revealed that Human factors (Fatigue & lack of
situational awareness) were the primary factors leading to this
incident.
Lesson to Learn
Aircraft doors should be opened only after attaching step-ladder or access equipment…!
Lessons to Learn
Human factors should be given due importance while planning
any operations.

ICAO SMS website
In anticipation of the significant growth of global air transport
over the coming decades, the International Civil Aviation Organi-
zation (ICAO) has announced launch of a new website support-
ing improved aviation safety Worldwide. The new ICAO Safety
Management site will assist State Regulators in the implementa-
tion of Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of
ICAO’s new Annex 19 to the Convention on International Civil
Aviation (Chicago Convention). Aviation safety is today as good
as it has ever been, however, with the projected doubling of air
traffic by 2030, it became imperative that ICAO adopt a compre-
hensive safety management framework to maintain and im-
prove upon our sector’s remarkable safety performance. The
website drives emphasis on promoting the safety management
approach through the network of Regional Aviation Safety
Groups around the World. Additional information can be found

Green Data Centre BIAL recently
upgraded its
datacenter
incorporating
the industry
wide best
practices for
the safety and security. The most unique feature of the new dat-
acenter is low energy consumption and modular approach. Typi-
cally datacenters have area based cooling which results in high
energy consumption however the new datacenter adopts modu-
lar cooling approach wherein rack based cooling is achieved
through liquid cooling package reducing the energy consump-
tion drastically. Also, the fire suppression system is rack based
protecting the equipment’s in contrast to conventional fire sup-
pression system based on volume resulting in huge energy and
