Abstract

In the first three decades of the 21st century, the world’s society has realized the influence and importance of safety and security as the foundations of sustainable development. Moreover, recent events and developments, especially the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the continual development of technology and global economic uncertainty, have indeed sharpened the problem of, among others, food safety and security, legal safety, land, and cyber security. The aviation industry is not immune to these developments, being inherently linked to all these safety and security dimensions. Thus, security and flight safety are of key strategic importance to the aviation industry, as accidents have the potential to affect customer choice and can severely impact an airline’s business viability. For this reason, continual improvements are central to the growth and sustainability of the industry.
