Key Safety Issues

Runway Safety (Conflicts)

One fatal accident in the 2012–2016 period falls into this category, which covers aircraft-to-aircraft or aircraft-to-other-vehicle conflicts on taxiways and runways. Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) includes risk of collisions on runways on its Watchlist 2016. TSB data show 27 serious runway incursions at Canada’s airports from 2011 through 2015, and the board “remains concerned that serious runway incursions will continue to occur until better defences are put in place.” This category covers runway incursions, taxiway incursions, landing without clearance, airport markings and tower communications.
