The independent AviAssist Foundation identifies threats to aviation safety, analyses the problems and works on practical solutions to them. The Foundation provides pro-active safety support to aviation organisations (government and industry) in the 22 States of the ICAO East and Southern African (ESAF) region. It is a regional affiliate of the Flight Safety Foundation.

The Foundation delivers its programmes mainly through training events, workshops and policy support. It services include:

  • Making best aviation safety practices available to African professionals
  • Communicate effectively about aviation safety (incl. distribution of African aviation news)
  • Training and support programs to improve aviation safety
  • Enabling aviation organisations globally to deploy safety expertise as part of their corporate social responsibility programs
  • Map safety improvement requirements & produce a catalogue of opportunities to address the requirements
  • Assist in processing those requirements towards projects
For more information, see the section on programs and services.
Each programme of the AviAssist Foundation will be a long term commitment. So, unlike many consultancy firms, the AviAssist Foundation stays committed to the implementation of its programs.
Why? Because sustainable safety and security requires a long term commitment. Safety cannot be achieved by simply introducing rules or directives concerning the procedures to be followed by operational staff.
