The EASA Annual Safety Review has been published since 2005 and is now in its 12th year. The analysis presented in this review together with the domain specific safety risk portfolios provide the data-driven input that supports the decision-making in formulating the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS). The latest edition further extends the provision of safety risk portfolios through the addition of aerodromes/ground handling and ATM/ANS portfolios, bringing the total number of analysed aviation domains to 13. The development of the European Safety Risk Management (SRM) process, and in particular the valuable input from the Network of Analysts (NoA) and Collaborative Analysis Groups (CAGs), means that the analysis in this years review provides not just a statistical summary of aviation safety in the EASA Member States (MS) but also identifies the most important safety challenges faced in European aviation today. This analysis will drive the development of safety actions for the next version of the EPAS and harnesses the experience of both the EASA Member States (EASA MS) and industry to connect the data with the current and future priorities of the Agency.
