SYNOPSIS
Airside collisions remain one of the most underestimated risks in airport operations. This talk highlights the hidden threats on runways and aprons including miscommunication, limited visibility, vehicle movement control and controller workload. Through real-world case studies, we will examine how gaps in coordination and surveillance can escalate into ground-level disasters. The session explores the role of Crisis Management Centres in enhancing early warning systems, enforcing airside safety protocols and integrating ground radar technologies. It aims to provide airport authorities, engineers and emergency planners with practical insights to strengthen crisis preparedness and prevent high-impact incidents that originate on the ground.
