ASSI’s Strategy 2025-28

Our strategy refresh coincided with a change in Board membership whereby new Directors for DfT, FCDO, UKCAA and a new independent chair joined our Board, succeeding long serving previous members.

ASSI’s mission is designed to align with and sit under the overarching UKCAA mission of Protecting People, Enabling Aerospace.

The core purpose of ASSI remains consistent with the ethos that established ASSI in 2003. Our role remains to ensure that the UK meets its international obligations regarding safety and security oversight in the Territories. Meeting these obligations is vital to protect people. Demonstrating to the international community that the required safety and security standards are being upheld helps to safeguard important airlinks which support the socioeconomic needs of the Territories.  

Protecting flight is something we must ensure we do as a competent aviation regulator. The ability to fly to and from a Territory is vital to the economies of the Territories, whether it is for tourism, work schedule or moving cargo into and out of the islands. A safe and secure aviation network is key to the Territories’ success. However, trust is also an important aspect of our work in that we are thousands of miles away from our regulated entities and we need trust to drive two-way information flows which improves regulatory compliance and increases co-operation with our regulated entities.
