This initiative brought together key participants from Cuba’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), flight operators, air navigation services, and aerodrome operators for an advanced training program.   The training focused on using Cuba-specific ECCAIRS views, engaging participants in improving data quality throughout the entire investigation process. The attendees also learned how to extract relevant data from ECCAIRS to prepare safety performance ratios, contributing to enhanced aviation safety. Furthermore, it was recommended the reviewing of the procedures of the investigation process to include ECCAIRS platform for supporting the safety management. In addition, a new solution was developed to help track and follow up on safety recommendations resulting from aviation occurrences, tailored to Cuba’s specific needs and requirements.   A significant achievement of the mission was that Cuba successfully integrated 80% of its historical data into the ECCAIRS database, fulfilling one of the state's key objectives.   Finally, SRVSOP experts presented innovative applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for ECCAIRS data analysis. They also provided cybersecurity recommendations for the ECCAIRS platform and introduced a dashboard model for monitoring safety indicators, which will be adopted by Cuba moving forward.   We extend our gratitude to the following organizations whose collaboration ensured the success of this technical assistance:   #IACC (Instituto de Aviación Civil de Cuba) #DOSO (Dirección de Operaciones de Seguridad Operacional) #ECNA (Empresa Cubana de Navegación Aérea) #ECA (Empresa Cubana de Aviación) #EAG (Empresa Aero Gaviota) #ENSA (Empresa Nacional de Servicios Aéreos) #JST (Junta de Seguridad en el Transporte) de #Argentina #ICAO #ICAO_SAM #SAM #SRVSOP #ECCAIRS #Safety #AIG ICAO South American Regional Office International Civil Aviation Organization
