EUROCONTROL voluntary ATM incident reporting

The EVAIR exchange platform gathers information, provided voluntarily, about a wide spectrum of operational safety concerns in the areas of air traffic management (ATM) and air navigation services (ANS). It then analyses such data in order to draw lessons learned.

EVAIR is based on a collaboration between aircraft operators, airline associations (IATA, ERA), air navigation service provides (ANSPs) and airports.

EUROCONTROL facilitates dialogue and the exchange of information between airlines, ANSPs, airports and, in some instances, manufacturers. With stakeholders' approval, EVAIR shares consolidated information and makes it available to stakeholders to support a preventive and proactive approach to operational safety in the form of active feedback, quick fixes and the sharing of lessons learned.

EVAIR processes ATM and ANS-related operational safety information provided by AOs, their associations (IATA, ERA), ANSPs and airports.

EVAIR facilitates the feedback process by enabling the exchange of information between AOs, ANSPs and airports. This process must be initiated by one of the above stakeholders.

Since 2006, EVAIR has produced aggregated statistics based on the information collected about various categories of ATM/ANS-related events. In addition, this information is used to develop customised analysis, responding to the needs of EVAIR stakeholders.

EVAIR's activities cover the entirety of European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) airspace as well as some of the neighbouring airspace outside the ECAC region (e.g. Middle East, North Africa, former Soviet Union, etc.).

On average, over 180 airlines consistently provide ATM and ANS-related operational safety information to EVAIR every year. These airlines account for over 70% of European civil air traffic. The EVAIR feedback mechanism facilitates the information exchange between the stakeholders concerned, offering effective solutions to operational safety problems.

EVAIR connects with around 450 aircraft operators in total, including legacy and low-cost carriers and business jets. In addition, EVAIR partners with ANSPs from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the former Soviet Union (e.g. STAN States).

EVAIR cooperates closely with international organisations, e.g. ICAO and EASA through the Network of Analysts (NoA) and Collaborative Analysis Groups (CAGs), aircraft manufacturers (e.g. Airbus, Boeing and ATR) and professional associations (e.g. IATA, ERA, IFALPA and ECA).

EVAIR is not allowed to disseminate operational safety information received or parts thereof. EVAIR will not publish or share with third parties operational safety information that enables those parties to identify or benchmark airline operators, aerodromes, ATS units, ATS providers, etc. In this regard, EVAIR signs a non-disclosure agreement with data providers (the "Parties"). This agreement defines the rights and constraints of the Parties when using data and safety information provided to EVAIR during and after the collaboration.

The EVAIR team signs an individual confidentiality declaration in compliance with this policy.
