SAFETY MANAGEMENT WITH THE YOUNG DRAGONSPRESENTED TO CASS 2012 Roger Lee Director of Corporate Safety and Quality 18 April 2012
Introduction • The Company • Growth of the business aviation dragons in Asia • The safety challenges and the opportunities • How is Metrojet managing these challenges? • Looking forward
About Metrojet • Established in 1995. Part of the Kadoorie Group and a sister company of The Peninsula Hotels • Leading operator and maintenance provider of business jets in Asia and pioneered business aviation services in Hong Kong. • Awarded an Air Operator’s Certificate by Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department in June 1997 for public transport operations. • Provides a complete range of business aviation services: aircraft charter, aircraft management, aircraft maintenance service, aircraft co-ownership programs and aircraft acquisition and sales.
About Metrojet • Workforce of 300+ • Over 100 maintenance professionals • 70+ pilots • 40+ flight attendants • Flies to any destination in the world at the time required by the client throughout the year
WHAT DOES A MATURED BUSINESS AVIATION MODEL LOOK LIKE? • Business aviation contributes US$150 billion annually to US economy • Over 1.2 million people employed • 9,635 aircraft currently, 11,300 expected in 2019 • Slow growth rate of 2% per annum • Over 5,000 public-use airports • Home to 68% of the worldwide business jet fleet
THE BUSINESS AVIATION MODEL IN ASIA IS YOUNG • 870 aircraft currently, 2,845 expected by 2019 • High growth rate of 20% per annum in China • Home to 6% of the worldwide business jet fleet • China - around 150 jets registered , 1000 business jets anticipated to arrive in the next 10 years • Fewer than 200 civil airports in China and many of them are not available to private aircrafts. • Private jets in Asia are more for personal use rather than corporate
Key Risks in business aviation - Asia • Sourcing and retaining competent and experienced pilots, engineers and support staff • Lack of regulatory understanding of business aviation • Nature of business aviation – discrete and private – how can an open and transparent safety culture compliment this unique nature? • Customers are not educated in the safety and security risks with regards to running a business jet • Culture • Peer-effect is key – “My friend owns a private jet so I better own one too.”
Our journey in establishing a SMS • 2007 – started the building blocks of SMS • Amalgamating the Operations Manual suite with various SMS elements • 2009 January – Metrojet’s SMS was fully certified by HKCAD • 2011 – Certified with International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) • ICAO DOC 9859 and other documents as “guides” only – our aim is to make these documents “live” in Asia
