I think that there are mutual goals like national goals and vision statements which are common for SMS programs at airports and those for air carriers. This is because the national interests have to be served first by the aviation organizations so that there are passengers and flight crew members safeguarded from terrorists attacks and other natural hazards. The importance of the lives of the citizens is common for both programs. Data (regarding failures in safety management in the past and performance metrics of the existing employees of airports and air carrier organizations) is important for both programs.
