Statistics show that air transport is the safest mode of transport in the world. However, it should be remembered that it is also the most expensive form of transport. Complicated safety procedures, expressed inter alia in prevention related to the prevention and investigation of aviation events, place the greatest emphasis on the human factor in aviation. Maintaining the reliability ratio in air transport at a sufficiently high level, with the current increase in air transport, is a priority. This requires integrated activities of all entities involved in aviation activities. Aviation security is a general concept. Firstly, it covers problems related to operational safety (safety area). Secondly, protection problems of means of air transport and airport infrastructure protection against acts of unlawful interference (security area). The basic goal of aviation safety is to prevent all events related to the use of aircraft. One of the directions aimed at increasing aviation safety was the development and an implementation of the concept of a safety management system, which includes subsystems:  processing and analysis of collected information enabling current examination of safety status, trends of changes and threat forecasts,  assessment of the effectiveness of preventive and rescue projects, a bank of knowledge about events, exposures, safety status and the impact of individual factors on safety. Today we can say that a high security level has been achieved in air transport, as well as in services and in aviation training. It became possible due to the intensive, systematic and continuous work of aviation authorities and organizations.
