ABSTRACT
Air travel has evolved over the years and is now considered one of the safest forms of travel in the world. However, the perception amongst many in the general public indicates that the extent to which the safety of passengers is prioritized is not completely understood or appreciated. The combination of a robust regulatory framework and the rapid development of technology in the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM) has enabled key safety issues, which had previously plagued the industry, to be addressed, improving the overall level of service offered to the travelling public. The ATM system, as complex and technologically advanced as it is, is responsible for ensuring each and every aircraft is provided with the requisite information and support to navigate the airways safely to its intended destination.
