Abstract

The consequences of emergencies in aviation are significant fatalities and considerable material damage. Ensuring the safety of transport infrastructure facilities is an important strategic task for both the State and the operating organizations. The aviation accident statistics show that for the period from 1950 to 2019 there were 614 occurrences (57% of the total number) due to the human factor (from malice to piloting errors), which actualizes the human-factor problem in the operation and safety of aviation transport. According to the ICAO data, 210 accidents occurred and 641 people were killed in the period 2019–2021. The task of the Aviation Security Service (ASS) employees is the proper performance of duties to ensure safety, prevent abnormal and emergency situations. The assigned duties impose special responsibility on the ASS employees and predetermine their compliance with the specified criteria. The personnel work carried out by the personnel departments of the airlines is aimed at selecting the most appropriate candidates for a position. The article considers the problem of selecting candidates as a task of multi-criteria assessment and selection, where the elements are the criteria (qualities) of a candidate, and their weighted assessments are set by experts. The existing methods of personnel selection in the ASS and the issue of choosing the candidates, who are the most balanced in their personal, qualification and other requirements, are considered. A method of selecting personnel in the ASS is proposed by the method of threshold aggregation of a non-compensatory nature, which has significant advantages over common selection methods by summing points and calculating the arithmetic mean. The results of the study are confirmed by the practical personnel selection of candidates for two airlines, as a result of which the group of ASS inspectors in a growing number, selected by using the threshold aggregation method, passed the probation period more successfully than the group selected by using the summation of criteria points. The results presented in the article allow us to consider the threshold aggregation method of candidates for the airline ASS as a promising method of personnel selection, the purpose of which is to improve the quality of air transport safety, which will reduce the risks of accidents, save human lives and prevent significant material damage.
