What is a Alerting Service (ALRS)?

The Role of Alerting Services in Aviation Safety

Alerting Services (ALRS) provide critical safety nets in aviation, ensuring that the relevant stakeholders are notified and respond to aircraft in distress.

The Alerting Service is a vital component of aviation safety, providing a system to notify appropriate organizations about aircraft that require search and rescue (SAR) assistance.

• Activation and Coordination: ALRS is activated when an aircraft is distressed or missing. It coordinates the efforts of search and rescue teams, air traffic control, and other relevant agencies.
• Global and Regional Implementation: The service is implemented by various countries and regions as part of their aviation safety infrastructure.
• Comprehensive Coverage: It covers all phases of flight and is particularly crucial for aircraft operating over remote areas or international waters.
