Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) has rolled out a Global Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions (GAPRI) to tackle an issue that has come into the spotlight after a spate of high-profile incidents this year. Developed by an international task force of 200 aviation professionals from 80 organizations worldwide, the GAPRI provides 127 recommendations that can serve as a roadmap to address runway incursions globally.

FSF called runway incursions one of the most persistent threats to aviation safety and expressed concern that the risks of them could grow with the rebound in air traffic worldwide.
