This paper proposes an approach to obtain a global index of safety in airport runways, with criteria based on safety events. Events were weighted based on the cardinal data extracted from the perception of an expert on safety risks, using the Swing Weights method. The multi-attribute value theory to group the different criteria in a global index was employed to analyze the evolution of the safety levels. This approach was applied to the operations of the São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport. Trend analyses were done to highlight the most urgent indicators to carry out actions to increase the safety levels. The results were considered to be consistent, contributing to the continuity of its practical application in the management of airport safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
