Al-Burhan Group was privileged to organise and host the IATA Safety Management Systems (SMS) course in Baghdad between the 17 – 21 March 2019. The course was attended by employees from the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA), Iraqi Airways (IA) and Al-Burhan Airways (ABA).

The IATA SMS course has been developed in accordance with ICAO principles to help airlines fulfil their Safety Management Systems requirements and it ensures both safer operations and improved overall efficiency.

The course will help organisations to:

• Develop, manage and monitor a Safety Management System that fits within the scope of operations
• Make improvements to operations that will prevent costly accidents, incidents and injuries to staff
• Comply with industry requirements and improve cooperation with regulatory authorities
• Understand how to use the Safety Management Systems as an effective management tool for safety performance and productivity
• Use risk management tools to continually improve safety performance

We would like to congratulate all who attended and completed the training. The 5-day course was considered a great success, ABG looks forward to organising more training courses to help improve services In Iraq.
