From Reactive to Proactive: Modernize Airport Safety

Airports operate in dynamic, high-risk environments where safety issues—from runway incursions and wildlife hazards to ramp incidents—can escalate quickly. Traditional safety management methods rely heavily on paper-based reporting, delayed hazard escalation, and disconnected work order systems.


The result? Increased compliance risk, missed safety trends, and delayed mitigation.

TADERA’s Safety Management System (SMS) empowers airport safety leaders to take control. Purpose-built for FAR Part 139, FAA AC 150/5200-37A, ICAO Annex 19, and OSHA compliance, it transforms how airports capture, analyze, and resolve safety hazards in real time.

Purpose-Built for Safety & Compliance

With TADERA SMS, your airport gains a centralized, mobile-first platform that enables rapid hazard identification, real-time data collection, risk analysis, and automated resolution workflows—all while meeting international safety standards.
