I am pleased to present the 2011–2013 Strategic Plan for the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). This strategic plan includes the Authority’s Vision for the next three years, its updated Mission Statement, Strategic Objectives and associated performance measures for managing the Authority’s operations.
GCAA has been in the forefront of aviation safety and security issues, gaining valuable accident investigation experience and making considerable progress in the area of Air Navigation Services. Now, with this Strategic Plan and the process undertaken by the Authority to develop it, GCAA intends to be in the forefront of best business practices for long-term planning. Over the next three years, we will not only continue focusing on safety, security and the services we provide, but also improve the internal management of operations and staff. GCAA plans to integrate risk management systems and business practices. Through this world-leading initiative, the aviation industry in the UAE stands to gain better safety performance with less regulatory intervention. These are important steps towards improving safety and enhancing the public’s confidence in the safety of the UAE aviation system. Eight Strategic Objectives have been included in this plan with outcome based performance measures for each Objective. The Authority is using these indicators to instill a performance-based culture of transparency, accountability and measurability of the achievement of its outcomes, resulting in an improved gauge of success for the realization of overall Strategic Objectives.
I hope you find this Strategic Plan provides a clear understanding of the GCAA, its mission, mandate, and the strategic planning process.
