Passengers Expect Maximized Safety And Minimized Security Risks
After 9/11, the international community adopted a series of regulatory initiatives to counter security threats in the airlines and airspace environment and enhance the security of the aviation transport industry.
Some of these international regulatory countermeasures and those that existed before 9/11 apply to airports, aeroplanes and aviation installations.
On this matter, we can offer a complete range of solutions & services for the aviation industry, whether for the Airport Authority with the complete protection of the airport facilities, the Airlines with the security around their operations, the cargo operators and their security facilities, equipment and security requirements or the individual traveller who has their own unique set of security requirements.
Airports have always been major gateways into and out of any country, and the experience passengers and visitors encounter while travelling through such facilities can have lasting effects on business, tourism and investment.
Many issues can affect the passenger experience of an airport – the condition of the airport and its facilities, the transportation access to and from the airport, and the availability of services and facilities (shops, restaurants and other amenities) but two key issues that affect the passengers' sense of well being are their security while passing through the airport and the speed, efficiency and manner in which security services are conducted.
We have the experience, expertise and technology to provide complete security solutions to airports in terms of consultancy and design and operational management, technology and manpower.
As part of the initial process, we can audit and review the National Aviation Security Program, Airport Security Plan, Policy and Standard Operating Procedures.
Airports and airlines require a unique range of security measures, from protecting the restricted areas and the aircraft on the ground via a command and control centre to advanced passenger profiling and CCTV monitoring of passengers and staff, conducting cabin security checks, ensuring cargo, airport and in-flight supplies are screened, right through to the protection of the flight deck and cabin crew stopovers.
Further, the most important for the safety of the passengers and the aircraft is the security and safety of airport airspace, where in this case, we also have the right airspace defence solutions.
Whatever the requirements, WE have the relevant solution..
Common basic standards comprise:
- screening of passengers, cabin baggage, and holding baggage
- airport security (access control, surveillance)
- aircraft security checks and searches
- screening of cargo and mail
- screening of airport supplies
- staff recruitment and training
- member states must ensure that they
- designate a single authority competent for aviation security
- set up a national civil aviation security program
- set up a national quality control program
- Operators must define and implement an airport and an air carrier's security program
What is the port security status today?
Worldwide, maritime cargoes and vessels are increasingly targeted by organized criminal conspiracies or individuals involved in alien smuggling, cargo theft, drug smuggling and terrorism.
Exploiting weaknesses in port security is central to these crimes.
The associated costs reduce the competitiveness of those affected, including the ports.
So long as trade threats exist, port security will remain as essential to port operations as cargo and good labour relations.
Traditional views of port security responsibilities must be expanded.
A complex transnational set of security issues threaten the maritime industry and cargo movement in international trade.
Those threats include terrorism, piracy, smuggling of stowaways and drugs, cargo theft and fraud, bribery and extortion.
Sea robbery provides an excellent example of the complexity of port security issues.
The nature of sea robbery necessitates that port security controls include both the waterside and the landside access of ports.
However, jurisdictional authority discrepancies, a lack of financial resources, and equipment problems are frustrating the attempts by some countries to address this issue.
Responding To the Threat
Port security is an essential part of the maritime transportation system's safe, secure, and competitive operation.
It promotes the development of commerce and is an essential element in maritime trade competitiveness, which cannot be achieved merely by modernizing port infrastructure and increasing operating productivity.
Port security can surface as a significant issue in trade negotiations, and government and industry courses of action should be coordinated to facilitate effective solutions.
Port authorities should develop the means for exchanging information on port security issues and disseminating intelligence to the commercial industry.
Through this approach, the security programs of individual ports can be enlarged into a national alliance of many port security programs working cooperatively with all elements of the maritime industry.
