Day 2 - 21 March
Session: Aviation Security, Border Control & Facilitation

16:45 - 17:30 - Panel Discussion: A tale of two cities: airport responses to danger
Synopsis: Around the globe, airports are confronting challenges ranging from natural disasters to acts of terror. They are responding to acts on their grounds as well as disasters in their communities and regions. Alignment of personnel, processes and technology is essential for effective response. Case studies of Swedavia’s preparations to confront serious incidents, and O’Hare International Airport's recent reception centre operations for persons displaced by hurricanes, offer insightful examples of how people, processes and technology can be adapted to address the range of threats that confront airports, offering a glimpse of how emerging domain awareness technology can facilitate future operations.
