    Fully agree with your statement, but please let me be boring and correct some terminology.

     

    All airports will have an emergency response and contingency plan, which will follow ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) guidance and is the pre-determined plan for any incident, accident or occurrence, and hopefully covers all possible eventualities. That plan will be practised regularly and updated/amended as necessary. The emergency response and contingency plan covers preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery from any event, with a focus on saving lives and preserving property, and is split into 2 levels, operational and tactical.

     

    This doctor lead the operational response at the aircraft, but would report to an Incident Commander, in charge of the tactical needs of the incident, dealing with all operations, logistics, planning, reporting/recording systems, To support the Incident Commander a forward command post and team was set up at the airport fire station.


    The airport will also have a crisis management plan, and team, which will be removed away from the incident response and concentrates on a proactive strategic approach, covering crisis communications, media releases, stakeholder management (Singapore Airlines and government agencies), ensure continued business operations/return to normality with minimum disruption, protecting the airport’s reputation and maintaining business confidence.

     

    A standard 3 tier response, which is reported to have worked very well.

    Thank you for the full version of what I said.
