This paper addresses the impact of training strategies on airline organizational operations in New Zealand. Airline operations involve numerous departments aiming at a hundred percent on-time performance (OTP) for each flight departure with safety as a non-negotiable condition. Thus, safety training is at the heart of operations and has been incorporated in multiple management systems supported by different departments such as Safety Management System (SMS), Quality Management System (QMS), Security Management System (SeMS), Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA), Environmental Management System (EMS) and Occupational Health Safety Management System (OHSMS). Therefore, the company has adopted an Integrated Airline Safety Management System (IASMS) which outlines the core policies and processes that make up the company group SMS.

Excerpt from the Book
1. Introduction: Description of the Organisational Operation
As shown in “figure 1”, airline operations involve numerous departments aiming at a hundred per-cent on-time performance (OTP) for each flight departure with safety as a non-negotiable condition.
Thus, safety training is at the heart of operations and has been incorporated in multiple management systems supported by different departments such as Safety Management System (SMS), Quality Management System (QMS), Security Management System (SeMS), Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA), Environmental Management System (EMS) and Occupational Health Safety Management System (OHSMS).
Therefore, the company has adopted an Integrated Airline Safety Management System (IASMS) which outlines the core policies and processes that make up the company group SMS (ICAO, 2008).
