ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopia is consolidating efforts to boost safety and maximize the satisfaction of air passengers, Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) said.
Briefing journalists yesterday, Authority’s Security and Facilitation Director, Debebe Girma said that the country is endeavoring to keep passengers’ safety and boost their satisfaction.
It is also working hard in close cooperation with Information Network Security Administration (INSA) and other stakeholders to fostering aviation excellence, and fighting against disruptive and unlawful behaviors.
ECAA is also working in collaboration with Ethiopian Customs Commission on enhancing the national facilitation program to expedite aviation activities, according to Debebe.
Though the authority is taking measures to enhance its customers’ safety and satisfaction, there are still limitations related to coordination and lack of adequate resources, he mentioned.
