Tiivistelmä
Air transportation is considered as the safest mode of transport. In the face of many accidents and acts of terrorism that mass media are informing about, there are doubts appearing if that statement is reliable.
The aim of the thesis was to show the safety issues in civil aviation - current situation and gradual changes within the sector that lead to increased safety. It was divided into two sections – theoretical framework, which gave the theory over the topic and the empirical part – a survey conducted among the passengers of the Poznań-Ławica Airport. The author based the theoretical part on the online articles, the articles in journals, books, governmental statistics, a seminar presentation, secondary data research, official reports of the air crashes and many more. The empirical part was produced by the author as primary data and it shows passengers’ attitude towards flying, their threats, their feelings about the security measures and the opinion about the Poznań-Ławica Airport.
The result of this project has shown a few things. The theory showed the importance of proper training of the employees working in the sector of aviation. It also presented the human factors as the main cause of the accidents and the aspect of the terrorism – actions undertaken to prevent it and its possible consequences in tourism and economy. To have an image which makes flying safe from entering the airport until receiving luggage at the destination, the author presents the instruments helping to provide that. For example: Instrument Landing System (ILS), Air Traffic Control (ATC), luggage systems and protection from the animals. Also the main organizations in aviation were introduced and so was the airport considered in research section.
