Zambia implements ASBU's to upgrade aviation safety
Zambia intends to enhance aviation safety by implementing the Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBUs) by the end of 2017.
ASBUs work on the concept of four areas to improve performance, which are airport operations, global interoperable systems, data, optimum capacity and efficient flight paths.
Gabriel Lesa, the director general for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) explained that introducing ASBUs will ensure the airport will harmonised whilst raising efficiency across a number of areas at the joint African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) and the International Civil Aviation organisation (ICAO) workshop on aviation system block up.
He said: “It is a very good methodology which the governments in Africa have agreed and now it forms the Abuja set targets, so Zambia is obligated to implement the ASBU which is the aviation systems block.”
It was agreed by Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply and Communication permanent secretary Mbololwa Mayaba that using ASBU will improve safe, effective and efficient regulatory, airport, air navigation and aviation services.
