What is Aviation Security
The Primary objective of international aviation security is to assure the protection and safeguarding of passengers, crew, ground personnel, the general public and facilities of an airport serving international civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference perpetrated on the ground or in flight.
What is acts of unlawful interference?
These are acts or attempted acts such as to jeopardize the safety of civil aviation and air transport, i.e.:
- unlawful seizure of aircraft in flight;
- unlawful seizure of aircraft on the ground;
- hostage-taking on board aircraft or on aerodromes;
- forcible intrusion on board an aircraft, at an airport or on the
premises of an aeronautical facility;
- introduction of board an aircraft or at an airport of a weapon
or hazardous device or material intended for criminal
purposes;
- communication of false information such as to jeopardize the
safety of an aircraft in flight or on the ground, of passengers,
crew, ground personnel or the general public, at an airport or
on the premises of a civil aviation facility.
Bomb Threat Stand-Off Distances
| Preferred area (beyond this line) for evacuation of people in buildings and mandatory for people outdoors. |
All personnel in this area should seek shelter immediately inside a building away from windows and exterior walls. Avoid having anyone outside—including those evacuating—in this area.4

| All personnel must evacuate (both inside of buildings and out). |
