CAA’s 2015-2019 Strategic Plan and Transport Development Strategy until 2020 (with 2030 perspective)

CAA’s 2015-2019 Strategic Plan refers to the Transport Development Strategy until 2020 (with 2030 perspective) adopted on 22 January 2013 (TDS).

As part of specific objective 1: to create a modern and coherent transport infrastructure network, one of the directions of intervention is to provide an environmentally sustainable development of the Polish aviation market. Sustainable development of the aviation market has been included in Strategic Plan No. 2. In turn, the environmental aspect has been included in Operational Objective 1.1. Compliance by the aviation market entities with safety requirements (including environmental protection) that are relevant to the type and scale of operations assigned to strategic objective 1: effective supervision over the safety of civil aviation.

Within specific objective 3 of TDS: improving the safety of air traffic users and transported goods, the following has been indicated as the direction of intervention in the field of air transport: introducing a system based on risk management - anticipating potential threats to civil aviation security and implementing the solutions that will be beneficial to the entire system, and not only to its selected elements. Aviation Safety has been included in Strategic Objective No. 1.

TDS Subsection 5.1.2., organisation and management of other transport sectors, indicated that the improvement of aviation transport management should include, e.g. monitoring of the air transport market functioning, in particular in terms of compliance with the principles of fair competition by carriers, and ensuring the safety and quality of services provided. This provision corresponds to strategic objective 1: effective supervision over the safety of civil aviation and 2: sustainable development of the aviation market

TDS Subsection 6.3., Aviation safety entirely corresponds with strategic objective 1: effective supervision over the safety of civil aviation and the following operational objectives assigned to it.

1.1.   Compliance by the aviation market entities with safety requirements (including environmental protection) relevant for the type and scale of operations.
