& RECOMMENDATIONS

Adverse WeatherAdverse Weather

Adverse weather remains a leading factor in aviation incidents across the

Pan American region and has shown an upward trend in recent years,

intensified by the effects of climate change. This evolving risk highlights the

need to enhance predictive capabilities and adopt more advanced mitigation

strategies. Tools developed within RASG-PA are now more widely available,

supporting better decision-making and operational preparedness. To

maximize their effectiveness, States, service providers, and airlines must

continue to exchange information and apply harmonized solutions. Through

coordinated action, we can better understand turbulence-related hazards

and ensure robust defences against this growing safety challenge.Effective ImplementationEffective Implementation

The need for stronger implementation of safety initiatives remains clear.

Findings from recent audits and accident investigations reveal gaps in

applying agreed safety measures across several States. Collaborative Safety

Teams (CSTs) and RASG-PA programs have proven effective in supporting

States and operators, yet broader participation and alignment are needed

to fully realize their potential. By pooling expertise, streamlining processes,

and ensuring consistent application of best practices, we can accelerate

the achievement of safety objectives and strengthen operational resilience

across the region.Vigilance in a Changing WorkforceVigilance in a Changing Workforce

While global air traffic in 2024 surpassed 2019 levels, the commercial

aviation industry’s workforce is not the same as it was pre-pandemic.

Segments of the workforce, including many experienced pilots, airline

employees, technicians, and other professionals in various aviation

sectors took early retirement, did not return, or were laid off, resulting in a

considerable loss of institutional knowledge and experience. This systemic

change is compounded by departures from an aging demographic of pilots

and air traffic controllers. Concurrently, industry faces an ongoing pilot

shortage in certain regions and a lack of experienced technicians and air

traffic controllers to meet growing demand. All these conditions have the

potential to introduce new hazards in the aviation system, which requires

enhanced vigilance from aviation professionals to ensure to proactively

identify emerging unsafe conditions and ensure that safety management

processes are functioning effectively.Risk Management & SSPRisk Management & SSP

Many States continue to face difficulties implementing their State Safety

Programs (SSPs) effectively, limiting their ability to address emerging

safety risks. Monitoring under the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP)

shows that progress has been uneven, with some States lacking the

resources or tools to manage risk proactively. Addressing this challenge

requires simpler, more data-driven approaches supported by ICAO and

RASG-PA guidance. By adopting integrated methods and leveraging shared

resources, States can improve their capacity to identify hazards, prioritize

mitigation strategies, and achieve measurable safety improvements,

sustaining safer operations across Pan America.CollaborationCollaboration

Collaboration continues to be the foundation of RASG-PA’s most significant

safety achievements. The growth of Collaborative Safety Teams has brought

regulators, industry, and service providers together to develop practical solutions

to shared challenges. This approach has enabled more effective data sharing,

fostered a culture of transparency, and strengthened trust among stakeholders.

The success of the Safety Partners Program further illustrates how joint action

can drive measurable improvements in operational safety. By sustaining this

collaborative momentum, we are building a stronger, more united safety culture

— one where collective responsibility leads to lasting progress.As we reflect on the year’s performance, it’s clear that while significant

progress has been made, there are areas that require sustained attention.

Turbulence remains a prevalent issue, and we must remain vigilant

in monitoring precursor events to mitigate risks early. The success of

collaborative efforts, such as the RASG-PA Safety Partners program,

demonstrates the power of working together, but continued commitment is needed to fully leverage these initiatives. As we look ahead, it’s

crucial to strengthen State Safety Programs and risk management

frameworks to maintain momentum and drive further improvements. The

recommendations provided will guide us in addressing these challenges

head-on and ensuring a safer future for aviation in the region.ANNUAL SAFETY REPORT 2025 TAKEAWAYS AND RECOMMENDATIONS | PAGE 04

Coming from difficult times in the recovery of aviation since the

COVID-19 pandemic, these recent past years had been a good

reflection on how aviation in the Americas has retaken its positive

growth trend, underscoring the resilience and dynamism of the Pan

American aviation sector, with Latin America leading the global

recovery and North America continuing to expand through strong

domestic and outbound international demand. As such, I want to

highlight a fundamental truth: regional collaboration is not just a

strategy, it is the cornerstone of sustainable safety solutions.

In a region as diverse and dynamic as ours, with varying levels of

infrastructure, regulatory maturity, and operational complexity, the

challenges we face are multifaceted. Yet, despite these differences,

we are united by a common goal: to ensure that every flight, every

passenger, and every crew member travels safely. This goal cannot

be achieved in isolation. It demands cooperation, coordination, and

a collective vision.

Over the past year, RASG-PA has continued to demonstrate the power

of regional collaboration. Through our joint efforts—between States,

industry stakeholders, regional organizations, and international

partners—we have made meaningful progress in identifying risks,

sharing data, and implementing targeted mitigation strategies. The

Annual Safety Report reflects this progress, but more importantly, it

reflects the spirit of partnership that drives it.

One of the most impactful examples of this collaboration is the Data-

Driven Approach to Safety supported greatly by the RASG/PA Safety

Partners. By pooling safety data from across the region, we have

been able to identify emerging trends and proactively address them.

This shared intelligence has allowed us to move from reactive to

predictive safety management, a shift that is only possible through trust and transparency among our partners. This has impacted

strongly the success of RASG-PA’s data-driven, performance-based

safety initiatives.

Another key achievement has been the strengthening of our Safety

Enhancement Teams (SETs). These multidisciplinary groups bring

together experts from across the region to develop practical,

scalable solutions to specific safety challenges. Whether addressing

runway excursions, loss of control in-flight, or controlled flight into

terrain, the SETs exemplify how regional expertise can be harnessed

to create globally relevant solutions.

The Collaborative Safety Team (CST) has also demonstrated to be

a key initiative supported by RASG-PA to enhance aviation safety

through State-industry collaboration or regional safety partnership

in the Pan American region.

But collaboration is not just about working together, it’s about building

capacity. Through joint training programs, workshops, and peer-to-

peer exchanges, we are empowering States and organizations to

take ownership of safety initiatives. This capacity building ensures

that safety improvements are not only implemented but sustained

over time.

Under this framework, we must also recognize the role of regional

safety oversight organizations (RSOOs), such as CASSOS, ACSA,

and SRVSOP, in harmonizing standards and promoting best

practices. Their work in supporting States with limited resources

is a testament to the power of solidarity in aviation safety. When

one State strengthens its oversight capabilities, the entire region

benefits. Similarly, this is the case for the Regional Accident

Investigation Organizations (RAIOs) as regional mechanisms for

enhancing Safety AIG efficiency.Looking ahead, our focus must remain on sustainability. Sustainable

safety solutions are those that are resilient, adaptable, and

inclusive. They must be designed not only to address today’s risks

but also to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. This means embracing

innovation, integrating environmental considerations, and ensuring

that safety remains a priority even in times of economic or political

uncertainty. To achieve this, we must continue to foster a culture

of collaboration. The Pan American region has already shown that

when we work together, we can achieve remarkable results. But

there is still much to be done.

As we move forward, let us reaffirm our commitment to the principles

that guide RASG-PA: collaboration, transparency, inclusivity, and

shared responsibility. Let us continue to build bridges between

States, between sectors, and between generations of aviation

professionals. And let us never forget that behind every safety

statistic is a human life that depends on our collective vigilance and

dedication.

All of this is included in ICAO’s long-term vision for aviation safety

and sustainability, deeply rooted in regional collaboration. As

traffic continues to grow and new challenges emerge, regional

mechanisms like RASG-PA will be essential to maintaining safety,

building resilience, and ensuring that the benefits of aviation are

equitably distributed across all States. States, industry and all

aviation stakeholders are urged to continue this active participation

and joint work under this regional collaboration scheme for the

benefit of our States and the region’s aviation.

Let us continue this journey—united in purpose, and unwavering in

our commitment to safety.

Thank you.REGIONAL SAFETY COLLABORATION | PAGE 07 ANNUAL SAFETY REPORT 2025

OF PARTNERSHIPTHEAdvancing Aviation SafetyAdvancing Aviation Safety

Through CSTsThrough CSTs

The Regional Aviation Safety Group – Pan America (RASG-PA) continues

to strengthen aviation safety through CSTs, which unite States, operators,

and industry in a common mission. In 2024, progress was seen with the

PCAST in Peru, which remains active and focused on the transition to

Lima’s new airport, while Brazil’s BCAST launched new working groups

on turbulence, training, and human factors. There has also been interest

in expanding the CST approach in other States of the region, including

Chile and Mexico. These efforts reflect a shared commitment to proactive

risk management and collective safety improvements.

A Unified Vision for Safer DecisionsA Unified Vision for Safer Decisions

CSTs promote open dialogue and inclusive decision-making, ensuring

every participant has a voice. Recent discussions have focused

on improving accident analysis, learning from global data, and

developing tools to assess vulnerabilities and strengthen defences

against recurrent risks. By working together, stakeholders are better

prepared to anticipate challenges and implement effective solutions.

Collaboration as a CatalystCollaboration as a Catalyst

for Changefor Change

Working in isolation limits progress, but collaboration unlocks new

possibilities. By bringing together States, operators, and industry partners,

CSTs drive innovation and enhance safety across the region. Sharing

knowledge, experience, and resources allows us to tackle complex

challenges collectively and achieve results that would be impossible alone.

This united approach enriches decision-making, builds mutual trust, and

reinforces our shared responsibility for a safer aviation system.Shaping a Safer Future TogetherShaping a Safer Future Together

The progress achieved this year demonstrates the power of

collaboration. From harmonizing diagnostic tools to enhancing data-

sharing and training, RASG-PA and its partners are shaping a safer

aviation landscape. Together, we continue to transform challenges

into opportunities and build a future defined by trust, transparency,

and shared responsibility.

Strengthening Trust Through Strengthening Trust Through

Shared CommitmentShared Commitment

Trust is at the core of RASG-PA’s approach. CST forums provide

a neutral platform where sensitive safety data is shared openly,

enabling collective responses to systemic challenges. Recent

advances include closer integration with the Safety Partners

Program, expanded use of ASIAS data, and contributions to of

the Global Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions

(GAPPRI), all supporting safer operations across the region.Fostering a Culture of Safety Fostering a Culture of Safety

and Inclusionand Inclusion

CSTs show how States and industry can work side – by – side

to identify risks and put practical defences in place. Where

established, they have improved data sharing, strengthened trust

and accelerated safety solutions. Expanding this model across

more Pan American States will multiply these benefits and build a

stronger regional safety culture.

Collaborative Safety Teams (CSTs) remain at the heart of the Pan American

region’s aviation safety strategy. Over the past year, they have evolved into

vibrant platforms for sharing critical safety data, exchanging operational

insights, and fostering a deeper culture of trust between States, operators,

and industry stakeholders. By uniting around a shared vision and combining

expertise across borders, CSTs have accelerated the implementation of

safety measures and encouraged innovative solutions to address emerging

risks such as turbulence, runway excursions, unstable approaches, and

adverse weather. Together, we are shaping a stronger and more resilient

aviation system built on transparency, inclusion, and collective responsibilityANNUAL SAFETY REPORT 2025 THE STRENGTH OF PARTNERSHIP | PAGE 08

SAFETY PARTNERS PROGRAMMEPROGRAMME

The RASG-PA Safety Partners Programme is a collaborative initiative designed to strengthen the Pan-American

Regional Aviation Safety Team (PA-RAST) risk management cycle. Through voluntary participation, industry

partners contribute safety intelligence, share operational experience, and validate mitigation measures,

ensuring that the work of RASG-PA remains practical, effective, and relevant for the region.

The programme focuses on five core areas:

• Risk Identification: Safety Partners support PA-RAST in identifying and prioritising emerging safety

concerns, using information drawn from flight data monitoring, safety reports, and operational experience.

• Information Exchange: Safety-critical data, lessons learned, and oversight observations are shared in a

timely manner, enriching regional safety awareness and strengthening the ability to respond to hazards.

• Validation of Safety Products: Partners review and provide feedback on draft Safety Advisories (RSAs)

and Safety Issue Alerts (RSIAs), helping ensure recommendations are feasible, clear, and adaptable to

different operational contexts.

• Engagement and Networking: Safety Partners are invited to PA-RAST meetings, workshops, and

conferences, with opportunities to present their top safety priorities and exchange perspectives with

States and international organisations.

• Joint Safety Events: RASG-PA and its Safety Partners collaborate in selected forums and technical events,

enhancing cross-industry cooperation and building shared solutions to pressing safety challenges.

By establishing this framework, the programme fosters trust and mutual benefit. States gain access to

real-world safety insights, while industry partners influence the development of measures that directly

affect their operations. Together, the RASG-PA Safety Partners Programme is helping to build a sustainable,

collaborative platform to address the region’s most urgent safety risks.SAFETY PARTNERS PROGRAMME | PAGE 20 ANNUAL SAFETY REPORT 2025

ICAO plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe,

orderly, efficient, and sustainable development of

international civil aviation by establishing global

standards, facilitating cooperation, and assisting

member States in implementing effective

aviation practices.

ICAO Assembly Resolution A36-7 relative

to Global Planning for Safety and Efficiency,

recognizes the importance of regional and

national plans and initiatives based on the global

framework for effective implementation; and

that further progress in improving global and

efficiency of civil aviation is best achieved through

a cooperative, collaborative and coordinated

approach in partnership with all stakeholders

under the leadership of ICAO. Under this mandate,

the Regional Aviation Safety Group - Pan America

(RASG-PA) was created in May 2008, with the

objective of developing initiatives for aviation

safety, to reduce aviation risks in the Region,

promote its implementation by all stakeholders

and improve the harmonization and coordination

of efforts.Following the example of RASG-PA, the ICAO

Council approved in May 2010 the creation of

equivalent groups in all regions of the world, with

the aim of supporting a regional performance

framework for the management of safety.

In this context, the ICAO NACC and SAM
