MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Liberia has commenced the implementation of a comprehensive aviation safety strategy.

The strategy aims to strengthen national oversight, prevent air accidents, and align the country’s Aviation Sector with international safety standards.

The initiative, spearheaded by the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA), in collaboration with the Banjo Accord Group Aviation Safety Oversight Organization, centers on the development and implementation of Liberia’s State Safety Program and National Aviation Safety Plan.

Speaking at the opening of the program, LCAA Director General Julius Dennis described the strategy as a transformative milestone in Liberia’s Aviation Sector.

He emphasized that the State Safety Program establishes a structured national framework for managing aviation safety through sound policy development, risk management, safety assurance, and continuous safety promotion across all sectors.

Representing BAGASOO, Jacob Idawuo underscored that aviation safety is achieved through deliberate and sustained efforts.

He explained that the National Safety Plan provides a data-driven roadmap that enables the State to identify hazards, allocate resources efficiently, and implement focused mitigation measures to reduce accidents and serious incidents.

Idawuo added that the implementation process will include assessing Liberia’s current safety performance, analyzing aviation data, identifying priority risks, and establishing measurable safety objectives and targets.

A release quotes him as stressing that continuous monitoring and periodic review remain essential to ensuring responsiveness to emerging risks.

Providing further technical insight, LCAA Deputy Director General for Technical Services, Atty. Augustine Tampa reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to proactive safety oversight.
