ISMS Top Risks
ISMS uses a set of top risks for focus in the safety risk management and prioritization in allocation of resources. The development of the ISMS Top Risks is actively monitored by the Standing Committees of the ISMS.
Every three years, the set of top risks is actualized based on the size of the risk, the potential for further risk reduction and possible concerns regarding the development of the risk.
Below, the 12 ISMS Top Risks for the period 2026-2028 are shown.
You can expand the sections below to see which roadmap measures contribute to the reduction of the top risk concerned.
F1: Runway Incursion
F2: Loss of control during take-off
F3: Presence of unauthorized drones
F4: Bird strike in TMA/CTR
GM1: Unsafe separation between an aircraft and GSE, persons or infrastructure while the aircraft is docking or parking
GM2: Unsafe separation between an aircraft and other aircraft, GSE, vehicles or persons while the aircraft is in push-back
GM3: Unsafe separation between a taxiing aircraft and other aircraft / tows / vehicles / persons
GM4: Jet blast or suction into engines while aircraft is on the manoeuvring area
GH1: Unsafe separation between GSE/vehicles/persons/infrastructure on service roads
GH2: Unsafe separation between GSE/vehicles/persons/infrastructure on stands
GH3: Unsafe separation between GSE/vehicle and an aircraft at a stand
GH4: Uncontrolled presence of FOD on service roads and stands
