Description

Because of the considerable number of runway incursions across the European region and worldwide, including actual collisions with a significant loss of life, it was considered necessary to focus attention on this safety issue. Analysis of the available data indicated that more than one runway incursion every day was occurring within the region.

The European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions was released in 2003 as a product of the European Runway Safety Initiative (ERSI). In 2011 it was revisited and enhanced with further recommendations and guidance material. A further revision was undertaken during 2016 and 2017 resulting in the publication of EAPPRI Version 3.0 in November 2017.
