Operational safety plan for the Amazon River Airport in Shell City, Pastaza Province, Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a safety plan for Shell-Pastaza Airport through compliance with and enforcement of international regulations. Information was collected through observation sheets, surveys and interviews at the airport facilities with the main actors of this air transport system. Satisfaction surveys were aimed at airport users. After the analysis of the primary information, it can be indicated that the airport has shortcomings in aspects such as: identification of danger zones, malfunction of strategic areas, absence of operational safety procedures in the presence of dangers. The construction and development of the operational safety plan is framed in the technical and administrative aspect of the airport, which must operate in a coordinated and harmonized manner. An operational safety plan will allow the airport to have protocols, procedures, dashboards and responsible in each of the eventualities that may arise.
