The United Nations World Food Programme is hosting this year again an   ICAO Safety Management System Training (SMS) between the 06th-10th December 2009 in Dubai, UAE. In collaboration with ICAO, as a part of its continuing efforts to promote safety culture in the aviation community, this is   the 6th free of charge aviation safety workshop organized by the UN/WFP for the past three years.
Increased attention to higher aviation safety measures is a priority for the World Food Programme and the Aviation Safety Unit, It is critical to the success of the growing regional aviation sector to implement the latest in safety management principles.

This strong commitment to better aviation safety is a direct result of the unprecedented expansion seen across many of the Middle East airports and airlines. With the booming influx of tourism and financial travel, heads of civil aviation departments have partnered with the WFP and leading aviation safety bodies like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to revise and raise existing safety measures.
