Day 3 - 16 March
Session:
Aviation & Border Security, Control & Facilitation
12:55 - 13:25
- Brave New World: the future of aviation security technology and regulation
Synopsis: Changes in aviation security standards by regulators such as US TSA, ICAO and ECAC are emerging that will have profound impacts on the economics and operation of airports worldwide. But many airlines and airport executives have a limited understanding of the different ways these regulations could unfold, or how new and existing aviation security technologies could either support – or hinder – airport and airline success. Each airport is unique and there is no one technology that fits every airport. This vendor/technology-neutral presentation will examine how airport security, business and regulatory concerns can affect technology choices that will become available in the next few years.
Audience will learn:
- Understanding of the impact of global aviation security regulations, and in particular how regulations can affect airport checkpoint operations, operating costs and passenger throughput, depending on the goals of each airport
- Understanding of new aviation security technologies, including remote screening systems, checkpoint CT and new body scanning technologies
- Understanding how overall checkpoint design, and layout and use of material handling systems, are being used in conjunction with screening technologies
- Key questions airport operators and security managers should consider when evaluating new technologies
