Primary Objective of Aviation Security
The primary objective of aviation
security is to assure the protection and
safety of passengers, crew, ground
personnel, the general public, aircraft
and facilities of an airport serving civil
aviation, against acts of unlawful
interference perpetrated on the ground
or in flight. (Annex 17)
Acts of Unlawful Interference
Any act or attempted act aimed at
jeopardizing the safety of civil
aviation and air transport.
Types of Acts of Unlawful Interference
 Unlawful seizure of an aircraft
 Use of an aircraft in service for the
purpose of causing death, serious
bodily injury, or serious damage to
property or the environment
 Hostage taking onboard an aircraft or
at an aerodrome
 Forcible intrusion onboard an aircraft,
at an airport or on the premises of an
aeronautical facility.
 Communication of false informationso
as to jeopardize the safety of anaircraft
in flight or on the ground.
 Introduction onboard an aircraft or at
an airport of a weapon or hazardous
device or material intended forcriminal
purposes.
 Destruction of an Aircraft in service
 Acts against the safety of civil aviation
Why Civil Aviation is seen as an Attractive
Target
⚫ Means by which terrorist groups can
get very fast international recognition.

⚫ Incident may force a government’s
reaction – ideally what terrorists want.
⚫ Airports and airlines can be used as
weapon of mass destruction –
maximum casualties
Who Pose a Threat to Civil Aviation?
⚫ Terrorists/terrorist groups
⚫ Criminals – seeking to extort money
⚫ Dismissed employees – seeking
revenge
⚫ Disgruntled employees – trying to
cause problems for the company
⚫ Refugees - desperate acts, seeking
asylum away from oppressive
regimes.
⚫ Mentally ill – unable to adequately
account for their actions
Why are Security Measures Implemented?
⚫ Threats to civil aviation can be
prevented by the effective
implementation of aviation security
measures.
⚫ Maintaining the integrity of the
landside/airside boundary
⚫ These security measures play a critical
role in deterring and preventing
unauthorized access and attacks on the
airport or an aircraft.
Landside and Airside
• Landside: That area of an airport and
buildings to which the non-traveling
public has free access.
• Airside: The movement area of an
airport, adjacent terrain and buildings
or portions thereof, access to which is
controlled.
Preventative Security Measures
Methods employed that assist with the security
and safety of an airport serving Civil Aviation.
They include a combination of:

 The objective of the National Civil
Aviation Security Programme
(NCASP) is to protect the safety,
regularity and efficiency of
international civil aviation by
providing, through regulations,
practices and procedures, which
safeguard against acts of unlawful
interference against civil aviation.
 Each airport/aerodrome has its own
Airport Security Programme (ASP).
It details the security measures to be
implemented by the airport to
safeguard against acts of unlawful
interference.

magazines, and hundreds of additional rounds of
ammunition contained in boxes. Walking up to a TSA
checkpoint, he pulled the rifle out of the bag and
opened fire, shooting TSA Officer Gerardo
Hernandez in the chest "at point-blank range". He then
went up an escalator, but returned to the checkpoint
and shot Hernandez again, apparently after seeing him
move. Ciancia then allegedly moved up the escalator

area, and moved farther into the secure airside area of
the terminal. Entering the concourse area, the gunman
continued firing, wounding two TSA agents and a male
civilian.
