Airport security and consulting

SSA provide a wide range of services including guarding services, boarding gate security controls, access controls and aircraft security to various facilities operators at Bangkok's airport, together with travel document verification, screening of of air cargo,  consultancy services and various other aviation security activities.

Large numbers of people pass through airports. Such gatherings present a target for terrorism and other forms of crime due to the number of people located in a small area and in large airliners.

The national security standard has raised to a high level, followed by developing new security standards in accordance with the international standards to require further enhanced measures for aviation security. Based on these enhanced security standards, installation of advance screening equipment such as new explosive detection systems have been introduced to address more elaborate methods of hijacking and terrorist acts.

Airport operators hold important responsibilities for making airports secure and aviation security policies effective. They coordinate response to security threats, establish and maintain restricted areas of the airport and their pass systems and are responsible for physical security, including perimeter security. Airports provide facilities for pre-board screening and hold bag screening operations, and arrange for armed police response to these checkpoints.

They ensure a security response capability for the various inspection services. Airports are also responsible for developing, maintaining and exercising airport emergency plans and procedures.

Air carriers are responsible for ensuring the security of their aircraft, as well as the security of cargo, mail, catering and provisions carried on board. They must train their security personnel; institute procedures for the handling of threats to an aircraft or a flight; ensure the security of passengers, carry-on bags and checked baggage; and perform baggage reconciliation to ensure that bags are not loaded without the passenger being on the flight.

By assessing risk and taking the necessary steps to protect against unauthorized intrusions, we can achieve a workable and secure aviation security system.
