Imported from official source

Disasters Classified by Officially

The UK commercial aviation industry has an excellent safety record. If an accident does occur, effective plans must be in place to address the impacts and ensure that the welfare and support needs of victims and their families are fully met.

The National Aviation Emergency Plan (NAEP) sets out:

  • how the response to a major incident would unfold from a Department for Transport (DfT) perspective
  • an overview of the actions required from various government departments, arms’ length bodies and industry stakeholders
  • It also addresses the UK’s legislative commitment to establish a civil aviation accident emergency plan at the national level.
