A compliance management solution is set to make significant contributions to aviation safety and quality in the UAE, as part of a unique approach to safety and security oversight at the General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates (GCAA).

Within the UAE, the GCAA regulates Civil Aviation and delivers designated aviation services with respect to safety and security to strengthen the aviation industry.

Q-Pulse will also serve to enhance communication between both divisions, enabling the Authority to provide an integrated environment offering safety and security and to meet their commitment to provide the highest standards in aviation safety and security.

GCAA Director General Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, explains:

"As the first regulator in the world to adopt this approach, the GCAA has taken a truly proactive stance in maintaining and improving safety and security oversight. As well as being an innovative project with a truly unique approach, it is extremely encouraging to see technology being applied in such an innovative way, within an industry in which it is imperative both to take full advantage of the advances that are occurring around us, and to keep pace with the continuing expansion in the region's aviation sector."


"This will assist the GCAA in establishing a strong infrastructure to formulate the basis for their safety and security resolutions and enforcement action. This platform is also used by many of our partners in the UAE civil aviation industry which will allow us to stream line our related processes, and hence allow us to provide better services to our clients," added Al Suwaidi.

Donald Maciver, Managing Director at Gael Ltd said, "This project is poised to bridge the gap between the regulated and the regulator that has been such a source of frustration within the aviation industry worldwide. Gael is an experienced provider of aviation safety solutions, and Q-Pulse is without doubt the solution of choice within the aviation community."
