SACAA Revised Strategic Plan 2013 to 2017 Final Copy 26/02/2013 Page 3
1. Foreword by Minister of Transport
The 2010 New Growth Path Framework aimed at enhancing growth,
employment creation and equity, cited the transport sector as one of the
key economic growth areas. From an aviation perspective, the Civil Aviation
Act No. 13 of 2009 amongst others mandates the South African Civil Aviation
Authority (SACAA) to oversee and continuously improve levels of safety and
security throughout the civil aviation industry. As leverage, the seven
elements of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) will
contribute by enhancing the position of the Historically Disadvantaged
Individuals (HDIs) particularly black women, communities, youth and people
living with disabilities while alleviating poverty, unemployment and inequality.
This will also assist in realising the objectives of the New Growth Path
Framework.
A review of the civil aviation demographics in terms of licensed pilots, aircraft maintenance
engineers and cabin crew reveal that the HDIs are under-represented. Government should
intervene to address the cost barriers to aviation skills development. A single goal of facilitating
access to HDIs through creative means is paramount. In this regard, the Department of Transport
(DoT) will continue to forge and strengthen possible partnerships that are aimed at addressing the
aviation skills development challenge. Such efforts will have a positive effect on downstream
industries, and will address skills drain perpetrated by international airlines that are supported by
strong economies.
Global air mobility increase and ageing aircraft operating mainly in the African airspace pose
safety challenges that must be addressed by SACAA. These challenges will be addressed by
systematic implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Standards and
Resolutions. Safety record in the continent expects us to work closely with the Africa continent in
line with ABUJA declaration and also for co-operation with regional ICAO bodies to enhance
safety.
SACAA has aligned its Strategic Plan with that of the Department of Transport (DoT). This will enable
SACAA to deliver on the following three (3) Ministerial outcomes:
A transport sector that is safe and secure; Increased contribution to job creation; and Increased contribution of transport to environmental sustainability.
As the Executive Authority, I endorse the Strategic Plan and commit to monitor its implementation
by SACAA to ensure effective service delivery.

2. Foreword by Chairperson
It gives me great pleasure to present SACAAs Revised Strategic
Plan for the 2013 to 2017 financial years. The previous Strategic
Plan covered a five-year period from 2012 to 2017, and had to be
revised to improve our strategic focus and alignment with the
revised DOT national objectives 2013 to 2017.
The 2013 - 2017 strategy is about compliance and continuous
improvement in the discharge of our mandate to ensure civil
aviation safety and security in the country and the region
overall. It is also about organisational sustainability and
performance underpinned by a strong focus on people, skills,
business processes and enabling technology, all of which is
supported by productive partnering with the aviation industry
stakeholders and a strong corporate governance ethos.
Over the years, SACAA has compared well with international regulators in terms of compliance to
the ICAO 8 critical elements in Safety and Security, having achieved 99.3% compliance since the
last ICAO audit in 2007. In line with this, we have revised our vision to be amongst the top 30 CAAs
within five years, to ensure that we retain our regulatory excellence with a continued focus on on-
going improvement. In support of our vision, we are focusing on operational excellence and share
with you our new Brand Promise Our Excellence, Your Safety.
We are certain that given our continued ICAO safety and security compliance as well as our
continued United States Category 1 status, we will achieve this vision within the target period and
the public will incrementally experience our brand promise in all engagements with SACAA.
We cannot achieve our vision without ensuring organisational sustainability. Wavering global
conditions dictate a review of SACAAs income mix in order to ensure our future as a going
concern. In addition, the local, regional and global challenge of scarce aviation skills in certain
categories requires concerted development by all industry stakeholders to ensure we have the
requisite technical skills to achieve our mandate and a transformed aviation industry.
We are encouraged by the on-going work of the DOT in the COSCAP-SADC, a regional project
earmarked to consolidate aviation safety oversight. Equally of importance is the work being done
in developing the regional security model, the CASP. SACAA believes that amalgamating the
above will result in an efficient cross-functional model, with reduced overhead costs. In line with the
developments in these areas, we will contribute to ensuring regional compliance and a reduction
in Africas accident rate through continued regional co-operation in areas of need, including
regulatory skills development.
The need to regulate the impact of Aviation on the Environment remains on the agenda. To date
we have established a number of regulations that assist in regulating aviation environmental
emissions. We will continue to take direction from ICAO and the DOT to implement the required
standards and practices and engage with our stakeholders in establishing the necessary
regulations.

SACAA Revised Strategic Plan 2013 to 2017 Final Copy 26/02/2013 Page 5
Below are the 2013/14 - 17 Strategic objectives that seek to respond, amongst others, to the
context highlighted above:
Build a continuously improving safety and security (operations, aircraft, aviation security and infrastructure) environment
Active participation in influencing national, regional and continental aviation development Influence the breadth and pace of industry development and the industry transformation
agenda
Reduce aviation impact on the environment Build resilient organisational capacity that embraces a high-performance culture Optimise organisational performance Embed principles of corporate governance in the work of every SACAA team member and
service.
I would like to encourage all organisational stakeholders to embrace and live this strategy, and
watch the SACAA soar in international rankings.

3. Foreword Acting Director of Civil Aviation
It is a pleasure to submit the South African Civil Aviation Authoritys Revised Strategic Plan for 2013
2017, following a fully inclusive and consultative process. The process called
for frank and robust discussion on transformational change within SACAA.
Employees from all levels participated in the process, as the strategic plan
must be owned by its implementers. This culminated in the birth of a daring
vision that moves all from their comfort zones; clearly it cannot be business as
usual going forward.
To achieve SACAAs greater vision, smart technologies will have to be
employed in order to limit human error, provide an audit trail and improve
efficiencies. Needless to say, the improvement of oversight activities is a
priority. This is dependent on achieving the target of fully-integrated systems
throughout the organisation in two years. These contemplated smart technologies will assist in the
implementation of Safety Management Systems and adherence to the continuous monitoring
approach of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
From a peoples perspective, this strategy is about appointing the right people to the right jobs,
retaining critical skills and transforming the Authoritys technical demographics. In pursuit of the
aforementioned, a comprehensive retention strategy and a simplified effective performance
management system which delivers on the organisational goals are paramount.
Aviation in South Africa remains untransformed on all its fronts and the statistics go a long way in
demonstrating this quandary. To this end, the organisations are positioned to contribute on a wider
national platform to address this imbalance. However, strict implementation of the BBBEE Aviation
Code will assist in bringing historically disadvantaged organisations into the mainstream of trade
with SACAA. This is the reason why the 2013/14 - 17 strategy seeks to drive BBBEE through a well-
resourced steering committee, to ensure delivery on transformational objectives within a limited
time frame.
The organisational strategic trajectory spells out the intent to progress on matters of corporate
governance. Ensuring adherence to prevailing prescripts, and maintaining favourable opinions
from external auditors is not negotiable. In this regard, the organisation intends subjecting itself to
scrutiny in governance matters in order to ensure maximum compliance.
Once again the SACAA welcomes an opportunity to be assessed by ICAO in the latter part of the
2013/14 financial year, an opportunity of third-party confirmation on safety and security oversight
performance.
Finally, I would like to appeal to every employee to take ownership and serve the organisation with
commitment, in the interest of aviation safety and security. May I sum up by inviting our
stakeholders to partner with us and realise our vision.

5. What SACAA is about 5.1 Legislative and other Mandates
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) was established on the 1st of October 1998
following the enactment of the South African Civil Aviation Authority Act. The SACAA is an agency
of the Department of Transport (DoT). The Act provides for the establishment of a stand-alone
authority mandated with promoting, regulating, supporting, enforcing and continuously improving
levels of safety and security throughout the civil aviation industry. The above is to be achieved by
complying with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of the International Civil
Aviation Organisation (ICAO), whilst considering the local context.
This mandate relates to aviation safety and security oversight of airspace, airports, aircraft,
operations and personnel. In discharging the mandate, SACAAs role encompasses:
Regulation: Developing and promoting appropriate, clear and concise regulations and technical aviation
safety and security standards
Formulating and approving supporting regulations and technical standards through a consultative process with the aviation industry in terms of section 156 of this Act; and
Overseeing and regulating the flight inspection of navigational aids to aviation.
Aviation Security, Aircraft Safety and Air Safety Developing an effective enforcement framework to ensure compliance with aviation safety
and security standards
Conducting regular reviews of the system of civil aviation safety and security Enhancing aviation security by the development and dissemination of progressive
administrative and technical practices, promoting their use by security services, airport
administrators and air service operators
Reviewing and ensuring the adequacy of security programmes and associated documentation produced by airports, air service operators and cargo operations, monitoring
their implementation to ensure continuing effectiveness and incorporation of amendments as
required
Conducting comprehensive aviation industry audits and surveillance, including the assessment of safety- and security-related decisions taken by industry management at all levels for their
impact on aviation safety and security
Monitoring, implementing and enforcing the National Aviation Security Programme (NASP) Conducting regular and timely assessment of international safety and security trends and
developments, and
Ensuring compliance with ICAO.
Stakeholder Management Encouraging a greater acceptance by the aviation industry of its obligation to maintain high
standards of aviation safety and security, through:
a. Comprehensive safety and security education and training programmes; b. Accurate and timely aviation safety and security advice, and c. Fostering industry management awareness, and within the community generally, of the
importance of aviation safety and security and compliance with relevant legislation.

Promoting awareness about aviation safety and security issues, and Issuing certificates, licences, registrations and permits timeously.
5.2 Organisational Structure The current SACAA high-level structure is as follows (to be aligned with the development and
implementation of optimal business process per the SACAA 2013/17 Strategy in FY 2013/14).

6. Operational Environment Analysis Perspectives considered as having an impact on the 2013 - 2017 Revised Strategic Plan are as
follows:
Global trends African industry dynamics South African industry trends External climate SACAA functional capability.
6.1 Global Trends An International Air Traffic Association (IATA) report released in August 2012 indicates a decline in
global business confidence as illustrated in the adjacent business confidence graph. Confidence
peaked in 2011 and dipped during
2012, a direct reflection of air travel in
related years represented by Revenue
per Passenger Kilometres (RPK). The
International Passenger Market graph
trend indicates that total global air
travel maintains growth levels, albeit
growth trends are slowing. This may
negatively impact SACAAs revenues,
as 75% of its income is levied through
passenger ticketing. Another July
report from the Association
collaborates the above negative
growth trend, reflecting a 5.6% increase in demand in May, having increased by 7.1% in April. This
declining scenario was prevalent in all regions except for the Middle East.
The seasonally adjusted passenger trend as per the International Passenger Growth by Region
maintains some growth, although tapering as already stated. The same passenger performances
classified under regions indicate high annualised growth in the Middle East in excess of 15% and
18% for the month of May and June respectively. Africas performance in excess of 10% still
indicates robust growth under current circumstances. However, SACAA experienced a 3%
average growth during the same period, indicating some loss in market share, considering that a
local airliner is Africas number one Airline. This significant growth tapered at the end of the year,
with cumulative year on year passenger figures decreasing by 1.4%, largely due to the insolvency
-
SACAA Revised Strategic Plan 2013 to 2017 Final Copy 26/02/2013 Page 11
of one of the local airlines. A carefully coordinated national airlift strategy with national role players
will have to be implemented as soon as possible.
6.2 African Industry Dynamics African industry dynamics indicate compensating growth in freight activities. The Total Freight
Market graph on the left indicates an increasing trend, with the regional activities on the right
indicating a 20% and 15% annualised increase for the May and June 2012 period. While the freight
sector records high traffic volumes, this benefit is not translated to SACAA revenues, as the current
revenue model is only based on passenger movement, and not freight movement. This situation
can only be corrected by a robust model that benefits from freight. A further impact on SACAA
would be increased surveillance activities, particularly in goods transported by air.
In May 2012 the African IATA region and the ICAO developed a five-step Africa Strategic
Improvement Action Plan to address safety deficiencies and improve regional regulatory oversight
by 2015. This was based on an accident analysis between 2006 and 2010 that highlighted
insufficient regulatory oversight as a major contributory factor. To this end, runway excursions and
loss of control were underscored as major contributors to the high accident rate, with the former
accounting for 25% of Africas accidents. Out of the five-point plan, the following two are deemed
most relevant to SACAA:
Adoption and implementation of an effective and transparent regulatory oversight system Implementation of Safety Management System (SMS).
In view of the above, fine tuning of the SA SACAA Act and regulations is imperative, including
sharing of best practices within the general AFI region and SADC in particular.
6.3 South African Industry Various IATA reports highlight salient points concerning the South African aviation industry. The
aviation and aerospace sectors contribute to approximately USD 6,07 billion dollars (ZAR 51 billion),
that is 2.1% of the GDP. This translates to 227,000 jobs, with a sizeable portion being driven by
commercial airline transport.
A recent 2012 Oxford Economics aviation study commissioned by IATA articulated the importance
of this sector to the overall economy. It revealed that the industry caters for 21 million passengers
and over 240,000 tonnes of cargo handled by 52,500 scheduled flights within 77 airports and 51
countries. Sixty-six routes per week connect the country with major economic centres throughout
the world. This industry is set to grow by ZAR 1.5 billion a year, with the following added benefits:
Opening up markets to South African exports Lowering transportation costs, particularly long-distance routes through competition
-
SACAA Revised Strategic Plan 2013 to 2017 Final Copy 26/02/2013 Page 12
Adoption of new business practices that take advantage of Just-In-Time inventory management systems, and
Reduction of unemployment. In view of the above, SACAA has an important role to play by improving ease of doing business in
the aviation sector in order to facilitate industry development. This is set to be improved by
optimised processes and partnering with various stakeholders to offer service excellence to current
and potential customers.
Finally, SACAA has an opportunity to enforce the Transport Charter BBBEE Code. This, along with
transformational seminars, may influence the industry to transform its demographics.
6.4 External Climate PESTLE Analysis The PESTLE analysis conducted in 2011 was received and updated as follows:

Climate change (drastic change in weather
patterns) and natural disasters
Reduced air travel traffic and thus a reduction in revenue,
and -
Emissions regulations SACAA may have to impose restrictions on older aircraft,
and +
Increase in aviation charges possibly resulting in fewer
passengers. -
The above PESTLE Analysis will be applied when developing revised SACAA objectives.

7. The SACAA 2013 2017 Strategic Plan
7.1 Strategy Revamp a Necessity
SACAA went through an analysis process in order to determine whether the organisation had
remained on track. The prevailing organisations internal and external climate necessitated a
revision of the core ideology (Mission, Vision, Values and Brand Statement) to ensure that the
organisation remained on course to deliver on its goals. This process was then followed by a
revision of the objectives, with a view to concentrate on strategic outputs.
7.2 A logical Process, from the Core Ideology to Action Steps
The strategic review process commenced with the re-examination of the Core Ideology of SACAA,
against the backdrop of the disclosed organisational analysis. This entailed re-examining and re-
focusing firstly: 1 Purpose (Why SACAA exists what purposes it needs to fulfil), then 2 Vision (what
SACAA envisions achieving over the next 5 years); then 3 Brand Promise (What customers the
customer experience can expect from SACAA) and finally, 4 Core Values that drive and live the
Brand Promise all in that order.
Only once the Core Ideology was reformulated, refocused, simplified, understood and accepted
by all, could the Strategic Goals and Objectives be reviewed. As expected, because the Core
Ideology had been reformulated, related objectives had to be adjusted or reformulated although
the Strategic Goals remained
relevant.
The adjacent table highlights the
relationship between core values.
In order for the organisation to
deliver, there must be a desired
end state (vision) that is grounded
on organisational reason for
existence (mission). Values are
principles not to be compromised,
as the employees continue to
ensure a predetermined customer
experience (brand promise). When
all these are in consonance, then
a predetermined end state is likely to be realised. It is due to this reason that the 2013/14 strategy
had to embody a brand promise. Following are revised core value elements for SACAA going
forward:
7.3 Mission
To regulate aviation safety and security through oversight in line with international standards To minimize the impact of the aviation industry on the environment; and To promote transformation, development and sustainability in partnership with industry
players.
-
SACAA Revised Strategic Plan 2013 to 2017 Final Copy 26/02/2013 Page 15
7.4 Vision
Rated amongst the top 30 CAAs within five years
7.5 Brand Promise
Our excellence, your safety
7.6 Values VALUES BEHAVIOURAL ATTRIBUTES
G Good is never good enough Always giving best effort, and seeking to continuously improve
I Integrity Maintain high ethical standards and approach issues
professionally without any bias and in a transparent manner that
engenders trust amongst all our stakeholders
S Service delivery ahead of
customer expectation
Striving to always exceed customer expectations
T Teaming and partnering Working with others where we are jointly accountable for the
end result.
7.7 Development of 2013/14 Strategic Objectives
In developing the SACAA 2013/14 Strategic Objectives, the organisation factored all aspects of the
Operational Environmental Analysis, in particular PESTLE and SWOT. While strategic goals remained
unchanged, new objectives were outlined on the far right as indicated on the following page, with
a total of 12 objectives in 2012/13 compared to 8 in 2013/14.
The development of 2013/14 to 2016/17 Revised Strategy sought to maintain strategic matters, with
operational issues included in various Divisional Operations Plans. Such operational plans include
daily operational deliverables together with outcomes identified in the strategic plan, but deemed
not to be at a strategic level. The desired vision of being in the top 30 CAAs within the next five
years, will be achieved by implementing this strategy together with concomitant operational plans.

7.8 Organisational Analysis Aligned with Strategic Objectives
Before highlighting how various organisational analysis components are factored in the strategy
and operational plans, it is important to underscore a number of important factors that must be
addressed mainly by the executive authority. The appointment of the Director of Civil Aviation is
critical in order to stabilise the organisation. The establishment of an Aviation Training School is also
crucial in order to ensure that Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDIs) are included in the
aviation mainstream. In this regard, SACAA will play a supporting role as a regulator. The
introduction of a Middle Eastern airline in the region impacts on RSA routes, and consequently
tourism and SACAA revenue are affected. To this end, a coordinated Airlift Strategy by the
Executive Authority is important, albeit under a perilous air travel business climate. Finally, the
prospect of a single aviation, or transport regulator was identified during organisational analysis; this
remains the prerogative of the executive authority on which to pronounce.
Delineated below is how the following analysis sections are reflected in the Strategic and
Operational Plans:
Operational Environment Analysis PESTLE Analysis SWOT Analysis.
7.8.1 Operational Environment Analysis Aligned to Objectives
The Operational Environment Analysis through the International Passenger Market Graph indicates
growth, though the trend is declining. This was coupled by a 10% African growth with RSA
experiencing only 3%, indicating that Africas high growth levels have not filtered to the RSA. On
the other hand, cargo freight also experienced some growth; however this section does not
contribute to SACAAs revenue. A balanced revenue model should spread the risk between
freight and passenger travel. In order to address this deficiency, Goal 6 includes the Outcome,
Risk-aversive financial model.
This analysis section further quotes the IATA and ICAO plan to reduce accidents, with 25% of
Africas accidents being addressed through the following interventions:
Adoption and implementation of an effective and transparent regulatory oversight system Implementation of Safety Management System (SMS).
SACAA has made significant strides in ensuring that the safety interventions identified above are
implemented. From an oversight perspective SACAA has and continues to maintain an effective
oversight programme that will be migrating towards risk-based. To this end Goal 2 includes the
Outcome, Oversight conducted according to Master Surveillance Programme (MSP). As far as
SMS is concerned, regulations were implemented in August 2012 with some teething challenges
that require rationing. Technical oversight is yet to adopt this new process, ideally after its
rationalisation. Technical Divisions operational plans should include SMS roll-out during surveillance
audits.

7.8.2 PESTLE Analysis Aligned to Objectives
The PESTLE Analysis referred to under section 6.4 emphasises a number of external factors that
affect SACAA, some positive and others negative. The rise in oil price was indicated as having a
potential negative impact, however this is mitigated by the indicated Goal 6 that refers to a risk-
averse financial model. An organised labour threat was also identified during the same analysis;
this factor is addressed under Goal 5 through the Outcome, Establish a high performance culture.
This outcome calls for an all-encompassing HR strategy with concrete time lines. In this regard,
possible risks relating to Industrial Relations (IR) must be identified and addressed, with the settling of
multi-year wage deals being first prize. The inability to meet BBBEE deliverables was also cited
during the external analysis. To this end, Goal 3 calls for a plan to be developed and implemented
in order to achieve BBBEE Level 3 within five years. A BBBEE plan is currently being implemented.
Misalignment of the Act with other prevailing prescripts was also noted and is addressed by Goal 2
under the Outcome, Comprehensive and effective CA ACT. Finally restrictions on older aircraft
were cited; to this end a process of implementing regulations has commenced, and these come
into effect in January 2015. At that time organisations and neighbouring countries should have
been notified in advance. Divisional operational plans must include a communication plan to
introduce this environmentally-friendly regulation.
7.8.3 SWOT Analysis Aligned to Objectives
The 2013/14 -17 Strategy seeks to address threats and weaknesses, while taking advantage of
opportunities highlighted in the SWOT analysis under section 6.5. The weakness section underscores
predominantly HR related matters that are addressed under Goal Five objective, Establish a high
performance culture. Finally, a sub-optimal revenue model is also cited and is tackled by the
objective, improve organisation performance, with risk aversive financial model as an
outcome.
Threats underscore a number of factors including the lack of aviation skills. While SACAA does not
have complete control of this quandary, it seeks to participate in a nationwide initiative to address
the situation. Un-known unethical behaviour by employees is another inherent threat, and this will
be attended to through operational plans, as there is no one size fits all. Efficient oversight is
threatened through existence of disparate systems, to this end Goal Six addresses this with, secure
integrated systems with minimum downtime, depicted as an outcome. IT security was also
identified, to this end current initiatives to improve the IT security environment are appreciated;
however these will be monitored through operational plans. The integration of the UAV industry in
aviation oversight is underway, with regulations being processed as depicted under Section 8.
However, progress will be monitored through operational plans to ensure continued acceleration.
High reliance on Passenger Safety Charge (PSC) is also disclosed under threats, this is addressed
under weaknesses through the development of a robust revenue model. Finally, addressing
Africas poor safety record will remain an immense task. To this end, an arduous oversight program
under Goal 2, improved stakeholder relations with other oversight institutions should add to safer
skies in Africa.
The SWOT opportunities section calls for action to address a number of factors. Alignment of
organisational structure to maximise organisational efficiency is identified, this is addressed in the
operational plans depicted under Section 8, where business processes are mapped for ease of
-

implementation of the EBS. The end result of the EBS process and conclusion of the HR strategy will
call for an improved organisational structure. Identified stakeholder matters are addressed through
the first objective, Improve stakeholder relations. Industry transformation challenge on the other
hand is addressed through the development of an aviation school, SACAA will participate in this
national project. Finally, Leadership in regional safety oversight is important, however the executive
authority will guide in this matter.
7.8.4 Alignment of DoT and SACAA Objectives
On the 28th and 29th of January 2013, the Department of Transport held a strategic session that
endorsed prior year outcomes. Aviation objectives were tabulated with Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) next to them. A further reconciliation between DoT KPIs and SACAA objectives
indicated that SACAA Objectives 1.1, 2.1, and 1.21 were directly linked to DoT KPIs. The remainder
of the DoTs KPIs are to be covered under normal SACAA operations, as the 2013/14 SACAA
Strategic Plan concentrated on strategic issues.

10. Budget
The SACAA Annual Performance Deliverable table indicates specific amounts for meeting 2013/14
strategic targets, however the total budget accounts for total organisational operations.
The following are major budgetary highlights;
1. Fuel Levy Fuel volumes have declined over the last five years at a compound average rate 0f 2.58% based on the revenue model and it is anticipated that this trend will continue
in the future. The fuel levy income for the years ending March 2015 and March 2016
declines by 2.58% based on the current trend utilizing the revenue model
2. Safety charge the safety charge payable per passenger is currently R16 and based on the revenue model this charge will remained at R16 for the next financial year as well. In the
financial year ending March 2015 the safety charge was increased to R18 per passenger
and to R19 per passenger for the financial year ending March 2016. Passenger numbers are
only expected to grow by 2.46% per annum based on the revenue model.
3. Staff related costs have increased by 10.8% and 12.1% respectively for the financial years ending 2015 and 2016 respectively. This increase is in line with the 3 year salary increases
negotiated with the trade unions of 10.5%, 11% and 11.5% commencing 1 April 2013.
Training costs has also increased to address the training needs of staff in terms of the skills
development plan.
