Aviation security challenges• Constantly evolving risks• Scale and growth of aviation• High public profile• Consequences of failure• Many risk management actors

Key critricisms• Always reactive, never predictive• Lack of consistency• Solutions are costly, not sustainable

Continuous assessment 3.1.3 Each Contracting State shall keep under constant review the level of threat to civil aviation within its territory, and establish and implement policies and procedures to adjust relevant elements of its national civil aviation security programme accordingly, based upon a security risk assessment carried out by the relevant national authorities.

Information sharing2.4.3 Each Contracting State shall establish and implement procedures to share with other Contracting States threat information that applies to the aviation security interests of those States, to the extent practicable.

Global Risk Context Statement• Best practice methods for assessing

risk• Scenario based, outcomes focused• Past + present + future risks

Conflict Zone Risk Repository• Response to MH17• Single platform for States’ conflict

zone risk information• Publicly accessible on ICAO
