Arup and CAAi sign global partnership agreement to enhance aviation safety and security standards

Arup, recognised as a global aviation leader in security and design, and CAA International (CAAi), the technical cooperation arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority, signed a landmark agreement to partner on shaping a better world by raising the standards of aviation across the globe.
Signed by Arup’s Director of Operational Performance Stephen Pollard and CAAi’s Managing Director Maria Rueda, the partnership promotes the sharing of knowledge and skills that will enhance aviation standards, security and safety, as well as improving regulatory environmental performance of their clients.
The partnership means that Arup and CAAi will be able to offer clients, including safety and security regulators, a broader range of complementary services. This includes improving a State’s compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s Safety and Security Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) and assisting investors in better understanding their future commitments associated with safety and security risk and compliance.

Bringing together CAAi’s and Arup’s aviation regulatory specialists, as well as other expertise from organisational and change management and business investment advisory teams, the multi-disciplinary approach will result in sustainable safety and security outcomes for clients’ aviation markets, in particular regulatory and oversight capabilities.
The partnership is a result of years of successfully working together, and a shared commitment to raise the standards of aviation across the globe.   This has included working together in Botswana, Kuwait and Brunei-Darussalam.  With Arup owned in trust by its employees and CAAi a social enterprise they share common values in terms of investing profits in order to bring about positive social change and to shape a better world.
Ian Taylor, Arup’s Global Aviation Business Leader says, “The Arup and CAAi partnership establishes unprecedented capability in the aviation industry.  There is no other entity that has the skills or expertise to work across the entire spectrum of industry participants that make up the aviation industry, from individuals employed by aviation companies to national safety and security regulators. We are proud to be party to this high calibre partnership”
Maria Rueda, CAAi’s Managing Director says: “We are delighted to have taken this step forward in strengthening our long-standing relationship with Arup. Partnerships like these are great news for the UK and the international aviation community. Working together, both parties are equipped to make the biggest positive impact in raising global aviation safety and security standards, for passengers and operators flying around the world”.

The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization  (ICAO). The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they carry out. Aircraft maintenance activity carried out once the  aircraft  has been removed from the operating environment for scheduled Check activity or for ad hoc defect investigation and rectification .   Aircraft line maintenance  : activity carried out whilst the  aircraft  remains in the operating environme...

Airbus is leading Europe’s research & technology for future large commercial aircraft :cleansky 2

Airbus i going to will play a leading role in the EU’s recently launched CleanSky 2 (CS2) initiative – the follow-up to CleanSky and the most extensive aeronautical research programme ever launched in Europe. CS2 will provide a platform for focused large scale, highly integrated demonstrators with our partners. Within the frame of the CS2 collaborative research platform, Airbus will focus its expertise on the future of large passenger aircraft, for which the main areas will include: new propulsion systems and their integration in future aircraft; the future of the fuselage and passenger cabin; and the ‘cockpit of the future’. “Airbus is proud to further apply its innovative spirit and R&T know-how for the benefit of global air transport,” said Axel Krein, Head of Research & Technology at Airbus. Airbus’ contributions to CS2 will focus on three main platforms: Platform 1: “Advanced Engine and Aircraft Configurations” will provide the environment to explore and validate ...
