Chapter 1- OBJECTIVE OF AIRPORT SECURITY
AND REFERENCE REGULATIONS

The objective of airport security is to establish the organization, methods and procedures
necessary to ensure the protection and safeguarding of passengers, crews, public, ground
personnel, aircraft, airports and their facilities, against acts of unlawful interference, perpetrated
on land or in the air, preserving the regularity and efficiency of national and international air
traffic.

To achieve this objective, laws, rules and regulations have been enacted to implement basic
security measures for all airports, as well as to standardize the characteristics of the means and
the training of the personnel who carry out the inspection procedures to prevent damage to
people (passengers, workers and the general public), aircraft and facilities.

Each airport must have a security program approved by the State Aviation Safety Agency.

Reference regulations:

It is a set of rules, procedures and laws whose compliance is

mandatory. There are international regulations to unify
criteria between different states and national regulations that
regulate it in each country.

National Regulatory Framework

National Security Program (PNS)

First edition in 2003. Last edition
July 24, 2012 It consists of 16
chapters and
19 Safety Instructions (SA)
Public NSP: BOE 13/08/2012

Objective: to establish the organization, methods and procedures necessary to

ensure the protection and safeguarding of passengers, crews, public, ground
personnel, aircraft, airports and their facilities, against acts of unlawful
interference, perpetrated on land or in the air, preserving the regularity and
efficiency of national and international air traffic in the Spanish State and its
airspace.
The PNS includes an annex that develops various Airport Security Instructions.
Both texts, the main body of the document and the annex, contain mandatory
rules.

National Quality Program (PNC) Last

edition: 05/30/2011

Objective: To verify that aviation security measures are applied

effectively and appropriately, and to determine the degree of compliance
with the provisions of the National Security Program, through
compliance monitoring activities.

National Training Program (PNF) Last

edition: 05/30/2011

Objective: to ensure that all personnel involved in airport activities

have the necessary knowledge, in accordance with their occupation, to
effectively apply preventive security measures against acts of
unlawful interference and to deal with situations in which civil
aviation security is threatened.

Carmen Cordero Loves 6

Chapter 2.- AIRPORT SECURITY

According to ICAO Annex 17, airport or civil aviation

security.

“It is the protection of aviation against acts of unlawful

interference through a combination of measures and human and
material resources”

In order to achieve the objective of preventing acts of unlawful interference from being
committed at an airport, all the factors involved must be effectively combined, both the
regulations that govern it and the human and technical factors that implement the regulated
measures.

Carmen Cordero Loves 7

With the publication in the BOE of the unrestricted version of the National Security
Programme (PNS), the RE 185/2010 regulation comes into force, which requires all personnel
working in any company in the airport sector and who must access restricted or critical areas to
carry out their tasks, to take a basic course on airport security awareness and pass an exam to
be granted airport accreditation.

The purpose of this training is to raise awareness

among all personnel in order to collaborate in
airport security and in preventing acts of unlawful
interference.

Carmen Cordero Loves 8

Chapter 3.- ACTS OF UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE

“It is an act or intention to endanger the safety of civil aviation and air
transport and its main objective is any type of aircraft or airport facility”

• Unlawful seizure of aircraft

• Destruction of an aircraft in service
• Hostage-taking (on aircraft or at airports)

• Forcible intrusion (on aircraft, airports, or an aeronautical facility)

• Introduction of weapons, artifacts or dangerous substances for
criminal purposes (on aircraft and/or airports)

Carmen Cordero Loves 9

 • Use of an aircraft in service for the purpose of causing death, serious
bodily injury, or serious damage to property or the environment.

• Communication of false information that compromises the safety of

an aircraft in flight or on the ground, or the safety of passengers,
crew, ground personnel and the general public at an airport or
aeronautical facility.

Carmen Cordero Loves 10

Airport Security against Acts of Unlawful Interference.

Airport security is concerned with trying to prevent, by all means, both technological and
human, airports or aircraft from being subjected to these acts of illicit interference, the
magnitude of which in terms of destruction and damage can be enormous.

Airport security requirements must be taken into account from the airport planning itself. When
designing the airport area, all factors that prevent the access of terrorists, criminals and
prohibited objects that may cause damage to people, aircraft or facilities must be taken into
account. To do this, the following must be installed:

A perimeter fence that defines the entire surface

of the air zone, with certain conditions and that
must be equipped with the necessary means
(alarms, CCTV, access doors) so that it cannot be
crossed by any intruder.

Access controls:

For passengers, airport staff and crews:

Equipped with detector equipment: X-ray
machines, metal detector arches, manual detectors,
closed circuit TV, explosive detectors, alarms, etc.

Carmen Cordero Loves 11

Vehicle control:

100% of vehicles entering restricted areas, including their load and occupants, must be
inspected.

Surveillance and patrols: Both FFCCSE personnel and private security personnel must
make continuous and random rounds throughout all airport facilities.

Inspection Objectives:

Only those persons who must access the restricted area for any reason (passengers,
employees, workers, crews, authorized visitors, State Security Forces, etc.) may access
the restricted area.
The responsibility for inspections falls on the Civil Guard.
Private security personnel support the Civil Guard in inspection tasks and are hired by the
airport manager.

Carmen Cordero Loves 12

Aircraft Safety:

Aircraft must also be protected with special security measures to prevent people from
bringing in prohibited objects or jeopardizing flight safety.
Aircraft on the ground must leave all their doors closed and the company must ensure that no
one who should not have access or who is not authorized to do so has access to the aircraft.

Baggage control:

Both the luggage that enters the cabin with the passengers and the luggage transported in
the hold must pass a 100% X-ray control.

Carmen Cordero Loves 13

Protection of passengers and luggage (disruptive
passengers)
There are specific procedures in place to protect passengers and baggage awaiting boarding
and to deal with potentially disruptive passengers who may endanger the safety of a flight.

Cargo and mail

Freight and air mail are also subject to special security procedures.

Carmen Cordero Loves 14

Provisions and supplies:

Both the provisions on board aircraft and the supplies at airports are also subject to
security measures to prevent the introduction of prohibited objects camouflaged among
them.

Procedures for General Aviation

General aviation is the type of aviation that is carried out using private, sports or rental aircraft,
and both passengers and crew members and their belongings, as well as vehicles and luggage in
general, are also subject to security measures.

Carmen Cordero Loves 15

Chapter 4 - ORGANISATIONS INVOLVED IN
CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY
Who is responsible for airport security?

At national level, the person primarily responsible is the Secretary of State for Transport.

Delegates to the State Agency for Air Safety (AESA) the development and practical
aspects of the implementation of the National Safety Program

The person responsible for civil aviation security at an airport is the Chairman of the Local
Security Committee, a position held by the Director of the airport.

The actions of the State Security Forces and Corps, Aena's security personnel and the private
security personnel hired by Aena are regulated by:

COLLABORATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MINISTRY OF THE

INTERIOR AND AENA

of June 29, 1999 revision of

June 29, 2001
and addenda of June 1, 2007

Carmen Cordero Loves 16

Communication and collaboration between the organisations and entities responsible for this
safety and the workers of the entire air transport sector is very important. Without everyone's
collaboration, airport security cannot be feasible.

Workers must be aware of the importance of reporting to the security office or the FF. and CC.
of State Security on behaviors or events
strangers. It is essential that they collaborate:

• Knowing and complying

with the regulations.
• Observing our surroundings.
• Reporting anomalous
situations.
• Taking precautions with
suspicious objects.

International Organizations:

Intergovernmental organization created in 1955.

Objective: To promote the continued development of air transport in a safe, efficient and
sustainable manner through

 Standardization among member countries

 Policies of understanding with other countries.

Currently, it is made up of 44 European States. Audits are

carried out

 Audits are carried out to see the degree of implementation of the

recommendations of DOC 30 Vol II.
 It is a voluntary program.

Carmen Cordero Loves 18

  It is established by signing an agreement with the State that wants to be
audited.
 Once the audit is carried out, any discrepancies found are reported.

through cooperation of Member States.

• Document 30 – Part II

Recommendations to prevent the execution of illegal acts.

Based on ICAO Annex 17, it develops recommendations to prevent the execution
of illegal acts through cooperation between Member States.

The EUROPEAN UNION

The European Union is a unique economic and

political association of 27 European countries
spanning much of the continent.
The EU relies on the rule of law. This means
that all its activities are based on the treaties,
agreed voluntarily and democratically by all
Member States.

The European Commission is one of the main institutions

of the European Union. Represents and
It defends the interests of the EU as a whole, draws up proposals for new European legislation
and manages the day-to-day work of implementing policies and making use of European funds.

In order to protect people and goods in the European Union, common rules must be established
to protect civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference in civil aircraft that compromise
their safety. This objective is to be achieved by establishing common basic rules and standards
for aviation safety, as well as mechanisms to monitor their compliance. European Union
regulations are binding on all Member States.

Carmen Cordero Loves 19

European regulations

Framework Regulation replacing RE2320/2002.
Common rules for all airports in the European Union

REG.(EC) 185/2010
laying down detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on
aviation safety

All Member States must draw up a national security programme for civil aviation.
Furthermore, all airport operators, airlines and entities that apply aviation security regulations
must develop, implement and maintain a security programme to comply with the provisions of
this Regulation and the applicable national civil aviation security programme.

In order to monitor the implementation of the measures, each Member State must
draw up a national civil aviation security quality control programme and ensure its
implementation.

The European Commission carries out regular

audits of the Union's airports as established in
the

RE (EC) No 72/2010.

It is mandatory to verify the correct

application of the security measures
contemplated in the Regulations.

There are two types of audits:

• Organizational (the competent national authority in this matter is audited) and

• to airports (without prior notice)

In case of non-compliance with the rules, Article 15 will be applied, which implies the
consideration of the airport as unsafe and communicated to the entire international
community.

More than 20 regulations address the security needs of all sectors of air transport. They are
published by the Official Journal of the European Union and can be found for consultation and
knowledge on the European Commission website. The most sensitive parts of this regulation
are published as “Decisions” and are only distributed in a restricted manner to those responsible
for security who must implement it.

Aena Airports

Airport manager in Spain, which reports to the Ministry of Public Works as a public entity
with its own legal personality.
It was created with Art. 82 Law 4/1990, of June 29, on the General State Budget for 1990
ROYAL DECREE 905/1991, OF JUNE 14, APPROVES THE
STATUTE OF THE PUBLIC ENTITY AIRPORTS
SPANIARDS AND AIR NAVIGATION.

Functions:

 Organization, direction, coordination,

exploitation, conservation and administration
of
Civil public airports, aerodromes, heliports and other
surfaces suitable for air transport
whose management is entrusted to it and the services related to them; the coordination,
operation, maintenance and administration of the civilian areas of the air bases open to civil
traffic.
 Development of order and security services in the facilities that it manages.

In airport security, collaboration between the airport operator and the State
Security Forces and Corps is essential.

Carmen Cordero Loves 21

 The Civil Guard is responsible for security
controls, the security of restricted and critical
areas, customs and tax control.

The National Police Corps is responsible for

the security of public areas, document control
and immigration.

Carmen Cordero Loves 22

Chapter 5.- DEFINITION OF AIRPORT

An airport is a set of facilities and land surface specially enabled as a port of entry and exit for
aircraft, for national and international air traffic, where customs, immigration, public health,
veterinary and phytosanitary regulations and other procedures are carried out.

Classification of Airport Zones (based on security measures)

Public Area

It is the free access area for passengers, workers and

visitors.
Public areas are:
 The check-in and ticket sales rooms.
 The arrivals waiting rooms.
 Shopping and restaurant areas before security
checkpoints.
 Parking lots and some offices.

Controlled Access Zone

It is the area where access is controlled (using readers, turnstiles, private security personnel) so
that only authorized personnel can enter.
The following are controlled areas:

 Most offices, both for airport staff and for

airlines and other companies.
 Baggage claim areas.

You must have valid accreditation to access

them. For specific cases, such as a passenger
who must access the baggage claim area, there
are special authorizations.

Carmen Cordero Loves 23

Restricted Security Zone/Critical Zone

It is the area whose access is subject to security

control. People and vehicles will be subject to strict
access control and random security checks. In critical
areas (within restricted areas), security screening will
be carried out on 100% of people along with their
personal belongings, which will be controlled using
metal detectors, X-rays, hand-held detectors or
physical inspection if necessary. All persons, whether
passengers with boarding passes, workers or crew,
who enter the Critical Zone must undergo the relevant
inspection. In addition, manual inspections will be
carried out randomly and continuously. Private
security guards are authorized by the Ministry of the
Interior, in their capacity
to support the FFCC in carrying out manual inspections of all persons accessing this area.

The following are restricted security areas:

 Passenger departure areas, located between security checkpoints and aircraft.

 The exit ramps to the platform.
 The checked baggage storage and distribution areas.
 The cargo terminals.
 Shopping and restaurant areas after security checks.
 Maintenance and cleaning facilities on the platform.

It is very important to respect the accesses and follow the rules of those responsible for
security. Checkpoints are set up to ensure everyone's safety and comply with European
regulations.

Carmen Cordero Loves 24

 How to get around the airport

Workers must access their work stations through the accesses established using the following
systems:

Access control to controlled areas. Identification

without inspection.
Credential readers.

Access to Restricted Area and Critical Security Area

through security checkpoint. Inspection of people and
personal belongings. (100% inspection in Critical
Areas.

Vehicle access control. These vehicles, all their

occupants, and any merchandise and personal
items they carry must be registered.

Limits of an airport

The different areas of an airport must be perfectly delimited

and separated from each other by security barriers.
The entire area must be fenced with a perimeter fence subject
to specific requirements and subject to periodic inspections.

Carmen Cordero Loves 25

Chapter 6.- ACCREDITATIONS AND
AUTHORIZATIONS

Both people and vehicles carrying out their activities in any area of the airport must have the
corresponding accreditation or authorization and carry it clearly visible at all times while in
that area.

We call accreditation any support (card, card, self-adhesive sticker, etc. with or without
a photograph), which can be used to identify the person who is authorized to access a certain
area of the airport.

Accreditations are granted exclusively for the areas of the airport that are required to perform
the functions of the job, not for the professional category of the employee.

Depending on the area, the accreditation cards are of different models:

RED:
Authorizes permanence in
public areas and in airport
offices that are not located in
ZRS

YELLOW:
Public areas and offices
Aircraft parking platforms
and service roads

GREEN:
It allows permanence and
access to the entire airport
except the carriage yard (when
it is defined as a restricted
security zone) and the
maneuvering area.

Carmen Cordero Loves 26

BLUE:
It allows permanence and
access through the
established steps to the
areas established as
controlled access.

WHITE:
Public areas, offices and controlled
access areas (Offices, baggage claim
area, etc.)
Restricted area located inside the
terminal building

PROVISIONAL CARD
Allows access to workers for a period
of less than six months. It has the letter
P printed on it in the colour
corresponding to the area to which it
allows access.

With red band

It allows access and permanence to the patio
of carrollos. It will only be issued to personnel
whose work activity takes place in that area.

Carmen Cordero Loves 27

 Obligations

The colours of the badges determine the areas that the badge holders can access to carry out
their work activities.

The holder of an accreditation is obliged to:

- Always carry it in a visible place

- Never lend it to anyone
- Always keep it valid (renew it before it expires)
- Report any loss (or theft) immediately if it occurs. You must request a
provisional one at the Airport Security Office or at the CGA if you are
outside of Office hours.
- Use it only during working hours
- Return it to the Security Office once its validity period has ended.
- Never use an expired card or someone else's card.
- Access only the areas permitted by your accreditation

Other types of accreditations

 Visiting accreditations They have a V and are only valid for one day
 Accreditations for persons with operational reasons A
They must always be accompanied by a person with accreditation.
They must show the validity date
They authorize access and permanence in the areas to which the accredited
accompanying persons are authorized.

Accompanying persons:

Have valid accreditation

Be authorized by the Airport Authority
Accompany at all times, without losing sight of those accompanied. Ensure that
the person accompanied complies with safety measures

“Personal accreditation must be shown, even together with the DNI, whenever required by
the State Security Forces and Corps or Airport Security personnel, who, if they detect any
irregularity, may retain it as a precaution and deliver it to the Security Office.”
We call Authorization any support, card, cardboard, self-adhesive sticker, etc. that
authorizes a vehicle to access the restricted access area of an airport and to circulate through it.

Possessing a vehicle permit is not enough to drive in the Restricted Zone. It is essential to
obtain an Apron Circulation Permit (PCP), which is managed by the Airport Operations
Division.

Letter A on a green background:

For the exclusive use of vehicles
belonging to the airport service
provider and Official Agencies, it allows
access to the Aeronautical Zone of the
airport, except for the Manoeuvring
Area, unless expressly authorised with
the letter P.

Yellow letter R:
It allows access to the aircraft
parking platform and the service
area. Vehicles that need to access
the maneuvering area must have
the letter P printed on them.
Authorization of vehicle access to
the maneuvering area will be
restricted as much as possible.

Letter S on a RED
background: only authorized
for service roads and areas.
Prohibits access to the
Maneuver Area and the
platform (including its
service roads)
 BLUE
For the exclusive use of vehicles
belonging to the airport service
provider and Official Agencies, it
prohibits access to the
manoeuvring area and the
platform (including the service
roads thereof).

Letter P of the color

corresponding to the
authorized area on a
WHITE background:
provisional authorization
according to color

Prohibitions
It is very important to know exactly what you cannot do with
your accreditation and the penalties that may be incurred if you
fail to comply with your obligations, whether due to misuse of
your card or ignorance of the rules.

It is prohibited:

- Facilitate access to controlled or

restricted areas to persons other than
those authorized by the accreditation.
- It is prohibited to lend the accreditation to another person.
- It is prohibited to use the accreditation to access controlled or
restricted areas when not on duty and without justified cause.
- It is prohibited to use any accreditation other than your own.
- If you forget or lose your card, you must notify the Security Office
immediately and not try to use any other means to access your workplace.
- Access to areas not included in the authorization is prohibited.
 - It is prohibited to use the accreditation once it has expired.

All of these prohibitions apply equally to personnel accreditations and vehicle authorizations.

2.4 Sanctions
Failure to comply with basic security rules and
improper use of both the Personal Card and the
Airport Identification and Vehicle Authorizations will
entail sanctions contemplated in Law 21/2003 that may
vary from a series of economic sanctions to the temporary
or permanent withdrawal of the cards.

In the aforementioned Law 21/2003 on Air Safety, in

Title V, Article 48, on infractions related to the operation
and use of airports, it is stated:

“The following constitute serious administrative violations in relation to the use of airports
of general interest:

2-2ª Failure to comply with the personal identification rules of those who
perform functions in the service area.

3-2ª Unauthorized access to the operations area and restricted areas of airports

When an infringement is committed, airport authorities may temporarily or permanently

withdraw the Airport Personal Identification Card in accordance with Security Instruction
SA7 of the National Security Program.
Chapter 7.- SECURITY CONTROLS

The National Security Program defines access control and security control as follows:

Access control:

It is a point equipped with human and technical resources,

designed to ensure that only authorized persons and vehicles are
present in each area of the airport. Airport employees who only
access their offices in controlled areas must always pass through an
access control. This control consists of passing the personal airport
identification card through a reader that will allow passage through a
turnstile and is monitored by private security personnel who can
request the employee's airport identification at any time.

Security control: A point equipped with human and technical resources designed to
prevent the introduction of prohibited items that could be used to commit illegal acts.

Airport workers
whose offices or
workplaces are
located in a restricted
area, in addition to
access control, must
pass a security check
and allow all
employees to be
searched.
their belongings. There is a list of prohibited items with
those who are not permitted to enter the Restricted Security Zone and which all workers must be
aware of and refrain from carrying when they must enter the aforementioned area.

The controls are carried out by the State Security Forces and Corps (Civil Guard) and by
private security guards who act as support for the aforementioned FFCCSE.

All areas accessible to the public are monitored by closed-circuit television and regular
security patrols.
Check-in and reservation areas at airports are also monitored to prevent criminal acts against
people or their belongings.

Public areas close to aircraft movement areas, vehicle parking areas for both passengers and
employees, terminal roads and public access roads, vehicle rental facilities, taxi parking areas
and public transport areas are also subject to surveillance.

More than six thousand cameras monitor

and record everything that happens in our
terminals using a closed-circuit television
system and continuous surveillance
equipment.

According to the National Security Program:

“All personnel, including crews, and any items they carry will be screened before being
allowed into restricted areas to ensure that no prohibited items are brought into the area.”

All vehicles entering the

restricted security zone must
also undergo inspections of both
the vehicle and the occupants
and goods they are carrying.
Vehicles must clearly display
the security authorization with
the color and characteristics
corresponding to the tasks to be
performed.
Equipment Used in Security Controls:

There is a wide variety of detection equipment that helps detect any prohibited objects
at security checkpoints, to inspect both people and their luggage and personal items.

The most common

are:

X-rays for hand luggage

Metal detector arch and manual detector

for people.

Explosive trace detector

“Body Scanner”
Access and security controls must be passed to access restricted and critical areas. Only State
Security Forces and Corps that provide service at the airport or are on a duly accredited service
assignment are exempt from inspection. All airport workers, regardless of their position or the
task they perform, must undergo regulatory controls and cooperate with those responsible for
airport security.
Chapter 8.-PROHIBITED OBJECTS - TOOLS
The terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London have turned security on all forms of
transport upside down. Many objects, which may seem harmless or have traditionally been
carried without any problems, today constitute a potential threat and we must get used to not
carrying them when we go through the airport.

Regulation 185/2010

It has published a comprehensive list of all the items that are considered prohibited and that
should never be brought into security restricted areas or taken on board an aircraft.
Passengers who are going to board an aircraft already know, or should know, that they will be
stripped of any object that poses a potential threat. Airport workers must be aware that even
if they are not taking a plane, their work requires them to continually pass through the
restricted area and they must submit to the same controls as passengers even if it causes
them inconvenience.

The list of prohibited objects can be classified as:

In the passenger cabin:

Firearms of any type, as well as replicas and imitations that may be

be used to cause serious injury by projectile discharge or appear to be capable of doing so

in addition to:
 Stunning devices.
 Sharp or pointed objects
 Work tools
 Blunt instruments
 Explosive and incendiary substances and devices
 Liquids, gels and substances of similar consistency
In the Winery:

Explosive and incendiary substances and devices such as:

 Ammunition, primers, detonators and fuses

 Mines, grenades and other explosive charges for military use
 Fireworks and other pyrotechnic items
 Smoke canisters and smoke generating cartridges
 Dynamite, gunpowder and plastic explosives.
Tools
This section deserves special treatment since there are many airport workers who carry out
their tasks in public, controlled or restricted areas and critical security areas with tools that
can be considered dangerous objects and must pass the same controls as passengers and the
rest of the workers and employees.

Many tools are susceptible to being used as blunt objects and deadly
weapons.
Workers who must access Security Restricted Areas carrying tools to perform a task related to
their work activity, especially workers assigned to facility maintenance, must obtain a special
permit. For these workers, and after justifying their duties, the Airport Security Office will
issue Personal Airport Identification Cards with a red letter H that will clearly indicate their
status as workers authorized to carry tools.

An information leaflet on prohibited items is available at all airport information desks.

Chapter 9. COLLABORATION WITH THE AIRPORT

We are all responsible for Safety

Responsible behavior in terms of safety means knowing the rules that we must respect in the
development of our work and immediately informing our superiors or those responsible for
safety of any strange situations that we observe in the workplace.
airport environment.

At Madrid-Barajas Airport, airport security is guaranteed by several hundred members of the

Civil Guard, the National Police and private security companies hired by Aena, plus the latest
technological advances in detection and surveillance. However, above all, it must be guaranteed
by the respectful attitude towards the rules of the tens of thousands of workers who every day
help millions of people make their business, personal or holiday trips as normal every year.

We must be aware that safety regulations protect

us all and therefore, all of us, without exception,
are responsible for them and as airport workers
we must be the first to comply with them and set
an example.

We have all wondered at some point how we

should act in the event of some type of attack
in our workplace. Next we are going to learn
something about the most frequent typology of
incidents
against airport security.
We must remember that we can all be used as aggressors to introduce a dangerous object or
substance into the airport facilities, without our being aware or under threat, so no one should be
exempt from passing the appropriate security controls. Wearing a uniform or an ID card is not
enough of a guarantee.

Madrid/Barajas has become one of the largest and most important airports in the world. Four
terminals, a satellite building, four control towers, more than forty kilometres of perimeter road,
almost a million square metres of buildings and terminals and the millions of people who pass
through it every month make it very difficult to maintain it as a safe environment, which is why
no effort or means are spared to ensure that all processes involved in air transport can be carried
out in complete safety and to safeguard the integrity of all passengers, workers and crews.

Given the magnitude and complexity of our facilities, and despite the fact that we have one of
the most modern Airport Management Centers in the world, where security has a

With hundreds of permanent surveillance screens, the best help that Airport Security can
have is the collaboration of everyone.

We must keep our eyes open for everything that happens around us and notify security
personnel of any circumstance that draws our attention and that may imply some type of danger
for people, aircraft or facilities.

Don't forget to call 36524 if you see anything

Action in case of bomb warning call

It is common sense that the security procedures of an airport, like those of any company,
factory or facility, are not made public in order to safeguard information. In our case, only those
responsible for security have access to all the rules, procedures and strategies, but there are
some things that we must
get to know all of us who work at the airport in order to be able to
collaborate with those responsible for safeguarding airport security.
One of the most frequent security incidents at an airport is the
warning of bomb threats or attacks. These warnings are usually
received by phone. Below we list a series of tips that will greatly help
security officers to evaluate and gauge the scope of the threat.

It is very important to try to get as much information as possible about:

- Scheduled time of explosion

- The origin of the call: If it is made from a public or private place
depending on the ambient noise and whether it is a street, a station,
background noise, etc.

- The identity of the caller: Whether it is a man,

woman, young person, child, etc.

- The language you speak: Whether it is

Spanish or foreign, whether you have a regional
accent or an accent from a language that we can
identify, etc.

-Voice characteristics: If it is soft or strong, clear or hoarse, vulgar or polite, etc.

- Manners: If he sounds coherent or incoherent, if he

is irritated, and seems like a joker, if he is correct
etc...

-Write down the information obtained: It is very

important to retain the words as accurately as possible
to later transmit that information to the
security officers. Sometimes the smallest detail contains very valuable
information.

-Other features: if you know the airport, the planes etc.

In the event of receiving a telephone threat to place an explosive, it is very important that the
person receiving the warning tries to obtain answers to the following questions:

- What time will the explosion occur?

- Where was the bomb placed?

- What kind of artifact is it?

- What does it look like?

- Why did he plant the bomb?

If the threat is made in person, which is quite unlikely, it is essential to pay attention to the
following details:

- Sex, age, height, weight, build

- Race, skin color, eye color, hair color.
- Dress.
- Details such as tics, limping, or any other peculiarity in their
appearance or behavior.
- If you drive away in a vehicle, we must not forget to take note of all
the details we can about the vehicle that may help locate and identify
it.

Action in case of threat.

It is essential:

1.- Keep calm

2.- Attempt obtain the elderly possible

information.

3.- Memorize the information.

4.- Pay attention to any other data. 5.-

Inform the superior.

Any information that can be provided when a threat exists, whatever its type, will be
essential for its subsequent evaluation. Phone 36524
Action in case of suspicious object on land.
If we detect any package, bundle, or abandoned luggage that seems suspicious, we must act
as follows:

- Do not touch, manipulate or move the object.

- Do not pour water or any other substance on it.
- Report their existence immediately to security officials.
- Move away from its surroundings
- Do not use radio transmitters or anything that may produce vibrations near it.
-Evacuate people from the area

A threat should never be underestimated, although fortunately in most cases it is a false threat
intended to create confusion, chaos or a practical joke. Even if it is a joke, a threat is always a
crime and is punishable by law, which is why it is those responsible and security professionals
who must ultimately evaluate the threat and determine the possible responses to it.
Our goal is to avoid this:
