Safety data is the key to continuously identify hazards and properly manage risks though mitigation strategies aimed at improving in operational safety.

IATA constantly seeks information from a variety of sources that may be indicative of emerging safety risks:

• Incident analysis: Safety Trend Evaluation, Analysis & Data Exchange System is a voluntary reporting system, where member airlines can submit incident reports coming from pilots, cabin crew or ground personnel. This data allows IATA to analyse operational issues that can have and impact on safety and to determin e international trends. Reports are produced and submitted to participating airlines on a quarterly basis.
