Not only does ineffective security have implications for passengers, staff, equipment and airports but recent reports show that the averted terrorist threat in London this summer has cost around £100 million in lost revenue.

The August security alert resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of flights and stricter rules over carry-on baggage, which hurt passenger numbers and forward bookings.

Are you complying with international standards of best practice?

Clearly, the aviation industry and global economies stand to benefit from effective use of technologies and international standards of best-practice, effective staff training and secure borders.

Does your organisation make full use of the technologies available for secure borders?

As part of The SMi Group’s Global Security Events, we are proud to announce our Aviation Security Conference.

The Conference is an excellent networking and learning opportunity to address:

• RISK MITIGATION FOR THE POST 9/11 ERA
• THE EUROPEAN UNION’S APPROACH TO AVIATION SECURITY
• MEETING INTERNATIONAL SECURITY MEASURE STANDARDS
• IMPLEMENTING TRAINING PLANS AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE PROTOCOL
• THE COST OF 'ON-AIRCRAFT' SECURITY
• DEVELOPMENTS NEEDED TO ALLOW PILOTS TO ENSURE AIR-BORNE SECURITY
• SELECTED PASSENGER PROFILING
• COLLABORATION AMONGST THE BIOMETRICS COMMUNITY
• And much, much more
