The safety plan was prepared in cooperation with a working group made up of representatives of aviation stakeholders. The document focuses on addressing identified safety deficiencies and supports the achievement of national safety objectives.
According to Üllar Salumäe, Director General of Civil Aviation at the Transport Administration, the safety plan is a practical tool that helps the entire sector move towards shared goals. “Aviation safety does not maintain itself — it requires conscious and consistent work. The updated safety plan helps focus attention on the areas where risks need to be reduced, deficiencies addressed, and safety further strengthened as a whole,” said Salumäe.
The new safety plan takes into account both the regional priorities of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the tasks arising from the European Plan for Aviation Safety issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This ensures that the development of aviation safety in Estonia is based both on domestic needs and on internationally agreed priorities.
In addition to the substantive update, EstPAS 2026–2030 has also been given a more user-friendly design. The new safety plan has been published on the Transport Administration’s website.
