INTRODUCTION Page 2 Pakistan International Airlines pays the utmost attention towards passenger care and takes every step to make its operation safe and sound. Nevertheless, some time weather or other factors may lead to an untoward situation. Accordingly to efficiently respond to such situations and to minimize the losses if accident occur, PIA has put on considerable efforts in the area of Emergency ning (ERP) which on one side gives integrated course of operational actions for effectively coping with an emergency and on the other side ensures that its valued customers and their families should escape trauma, mishandling, neglect or receive due care following an unfortunate accident or air crash. A dedicated Emergency ning Section has been established and the procedures have been elaborated with minute details for handling the emergencies. During such major emergencies, Emergency Response Centre (ERC) Karachi will be the nerve centre to support the operations at the station concerned. Furthermore, ERC Team, Field Team, Family Assistance & Support Team and Station Teams have been formulated to perform their specific roles. A network of Family Assistance & Support Volunteers has been structured and training of the various teams and volunteers had been started. Besides their family assistance role PIA Volunteers are also being trained in basic rescue, elementary fire fighting and first aid to injured so could be helpful in responding to natural disasters, earthquakes, fires and day to day accidents as well. The Emergency Response Facilities at Head Office include the soft data storage of teams and volunteers. An organized call back system for contacting the affected families is also being devised. Right after an accident ERP activities start at the station concerned with the immediate notification to Rescue, Fire & Emergency Services, and PIA / GHA Team Members who start handling of victims at lounges, hotels and hospitals by utilizing local resources. Station where accident has taken place or Station Nearest also informs Situation Room Karachi who triggers an IVR based notification to all Emergency Team Members through PIA Contact Centre. Emergency Response Centre starts functioning within 30 minutes of notification and members of ERC Team comprising of senior executives immediately respond in an organized and coordinated manner. Simultaneously Members of Field Team also report here and get briefing of the situation and start preparing to leave for the site of accident within 3 hours. In the meantime Media Response Team issues the first press release within 1 hour and arrange for Chairman s Press Briefing.

This team exercises the central command for the overall coordination of external and internal information, communication, and response at all locations. b) Field Team Proceeds into activity of the accident site or station nearest, to provide support to the station, liaison with agencies, and represent the company at the accident site, Airport Emergency Operation Centre (EOC managed by PCAA) and Family Assistance Centres. c) Station Team Stays at the stations to coordinate with the ERC team at Head Office and to execute specific responsibilities related to uninjured passengers, relatives and other family assistance matters, including transportation, boarding, food and return of personal belongings. Providing full support to Field Team also falls in the purview of Station Team s functions. d) Special / Family Assistance Team Special / Family Assistance Teams deal with the inquiries from public, survivors and their families, develop official passenger manifest and coordinates with the Next of Kin notification or immediate family (Next of Kin) member. e) External Teams Different organisations and teams also provide emergency response support at various stations and these should be the part of Station Emergency Response Plans. PIA has also entered into agreements with Kenyon Emergency Services, UK for their different services. Level of their activation will be determined by ERC at the hour of need.
INTRODUCTION Page 4 STATION EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Chapter 7 of the Emergency Response Manual describes in detail the actions to be taken by the Station Teams and based on its guidelines are the basis for the Station Emergency of each of the PIA Station. TRAINING & EXERCISES A full scale exercise will also be conducted after two years besides exercises of different units. However, Station Manager is responsible to arrange training and exercises at the Station. When required assistance of the ERP Section should be availed. Different departments and stations will conduct periodical in-house exercise in coordination with ERP. After the exercises and actual events, de-briefing sessions will be conducted to discuss the plus points and shortcomings. Preventive actions suggested in the result of these sessions shall be communicated to the concerned activity heads, and implementation will be followed up accordingly by each department. This plan has been prepared with the dedicated efforts of Station Heads, and ERP Team and I would like to thank all of those dedicated officers for their efforts. We would welcome any suggestions and inputs for making this plan further helpful in dealing the emergencies and minimizing the losses. God bless PIA. Capt. Amir Aftab Chief Pilot Corporate Safety
