A cost-beneift analysis of runway accidents and mitigations has been presented at the Future Sky Safety conference, Eurocontrol, Brussels 8-9 March 2017.

The conclusion is that the Silo structure of civil aviation prevents cost effective mitigations for runway related accidents. It is strongly recommended to accept a policy of "follow the money", meaning: Prioritise mitigations in order of a cost-benefit approach. That means Veer-offs, Overruns and occurrences at regional aerodromes.

The different interpretation of runway safety related issues by the individual CAA's is contra productive to cost effective solutions.
