Criticality Management of Airports

This paper presents a project Safetec has done for Avinor (a Norwegian state-owned company, and Norway's largest owner and operator of airports) regarding development of a methodological approach as a basis for setting requirements for uptime and availability to infrastructure at individual airports. Avinor has divided its 44 airports into 5 categories. It is crucial for Avinor to have a conscious relationship with resource use at these airports and the balance between resource use and availability. The purpose of this project has been to develop and describe a methodological approach as a basis for setting requirements for uptime and accessibility to the individual airports. This project proposes definitions and KPIs that can form the basis for requirement. It describes a methodology for identifying critical functions and analyses the current situation regarding the performance of the various categories, airports and functions. In addition to the general requirements that are outlined, this provides a basis that can help Avinor set appropriate requirements for the airports and distribute these requirements to the individual functions.
