New programs aim to increase safety and save money

Global Elite Group recently launched new aviation security programs specifically designed to meet the changing economic climate in the aviation industry. Global Elite Group is working with major international and regional carriers to develop new ways to protect passengers and assets while reducing overall costs.
"The greatest challenge in the aviation industry is the ability to remain profitable in an environment with an uncertain economic outlook," said Victor Anderes, executive vice president of Global Elite Group. "This is often related to their debt crisis, the increasing cost of oil, instability in many parts of the world and the increasing pressure of airlines to operate with a minimal impact on the environment."
Global Elite Group aims to help airlines understand how to wisely invest in security measures without overspending, as well as know where to spend money while meeting regulatory obligations. Global understands how to save money while improving overall airline operations and results.
While companies are investing in new security measures, aviation experts are also experimenting with advanced air transport systems and communications.
Major government organizations all over the world are collaborating with aviation companies to develop the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model and the Weather Information Exchange Model. Based on the Geography Markup Language Encoding Standard, both of these models aim to create international standards for communication in a net-centric interoperable air transport system, Spatial News reported. These type of communication-enhancing innovations, along with pilot insurance policies, can help make the industry safer for pilots.
The Federal Aviation Administration, Eurocontrol and numerous other aviation organizations are sponsoring the research and development of the models. The goal of the testing is to prove the value of open geospatial standards in an international air transport system, according to Spatial News. The results of the project will be showcased at the ATC Global 2012 workshop in March, the largest aviation exhibition of its kind. The event will feature 200 exhibitors and more than 40 free seminars and workshops for aviation professionals and enthusiasts, the source reported.
At the event, the developers will discuss the role of open standards in the support and acceleration of an ongoing modernization of global air transport systems. Guest speakers at the event include George Percivall, chief architect and executive director of Open Geospatial Consortium, and Kevin Haggerty, FAA international program officer for Europe, Africa and the Middle east, the source reported.
