SRM is the primary operational component of the airport SMS. SRM is used by every airport
function to manage risks at the airport every day. Effective SRM needs the active participation
of all personnel at the airport (that is, airport staff, airlines, tenants, business partners, and other
stakeholders). For SRM to work to benefit the airport, those involved in flight operations, emergency
response, ground handling, and facility maintenance must constantly watch for conditions
that could disrupt aircraft operations and the flow of people and cargo or cause damage to
the assets needed to promote air transportation.
