In the event of a crisis, it is essential that AAPA member airlines be prepared for any eventualities.  Thus crisis management and emergency plans play a pivotal role in the operations of an airline.

AAPA actively works with industry stakeholders in ensuring that member airlines and their stakeholders are prepared in an event of a crisis, through forums and conferences.  AAPA also promotes best practices amongst its member airlines, and encourages airlines to bilaterally agree on providing mutual assistance in an event of an aircraft emergency.

Health Crisis

AAPA recognises that the governing authority on health issues is the World Health Organisation (WHO).  As a member of TERN (Tourism Emergency Response Network), AAPA is part of a global network that aims to ensure proper communication and collective action in case of health crises threatening the air transport and tourism industries.

Recognising that airlines need to include the threat of a influenza pandemic into their crisis management plans, AAPA strives to promote close interaction between airlines and other stakeholders.  AAPA members have heightened the level of awareness and are working closely with their local airport, health, and government authorities to establish comprehensive crisis plans.
