Canadian carriers appear set to join US voluntary air-safety program
US airlines and aviation regulators are poised to break new ground by expanding voluntary safety-reporting efforts to include data from Canadian carriers, according to people familiar with the discussions. If the talks succeed incident reports from Air Canada and two other large Canadian carriers would begin to be combined with extensive voluntary safety reports already being collected from US pilots, cabin crews, air-traffic controllers, mechanics and other domestic sources. No foreign data has ever been incorporated into the signature US safety-data collection and analysis effort, which is known by the acronym Asias. The goal is to reveal new air-safety threats or operational risks by assembling a more complete picture of incipient hazards and potentially dangerous trends spanning both sides of the border. <br/>
