Maturity of ATM Safety Management System in Europe
The AGAS Overview Study found that

• Implementation of Safety Management System
  (SMS) in most ECAC States still has a long way to
  go
• A number of ANSPs with low SMS maturity will
  have an increased safety risk due to high traffic
  growth

• Two issues stood out
• Commitment and Leadership
• Resources.
• Solving those issues is essential in making
  progress.
