The Directorate of Safety and Quality Management System is established in 2009.
In 2008 Pakistan CAA started actions regarding acquisition of International Management
Systems Standards for the continual improvement in its functions, systems and services.
ICAO Safety management System is another International requirement for the provision
of Air Traffic Services and Aerodrome Operations. Pakistan CAA being Air Navigation
Service Provider & Operator of Aerodromes and having a fleet of Calibration Aircraft
is mandatorily required to implement Safety Management System (Aviation SMS) in
these areas. In the first phase CAA intends to subscribe four major international
management system standards (i.e. QMS, EMS, OHSAS & ICAO SMS. In the year 2009 management
of Pakistan CAA has decided to establish a separate Directorate to operate & control
all four management systems from one single office and so the Directorate of Safety
& Quality Management System was came into being headed by Director SQMS, who reports
directly to the Director General of Pakistan CAA. Later on Pakistan CAA has added
two more standards i.e. ICAO Security Management System and Information Security
Management System. The successful implementation of these fundamental management
system standards will open new avenues in the success of Civil Aviation Authority.
The Directorate of SQMS would certainly move forward for the acquisition of other
international management standards in future.
