September Security Month
To raise awareness of the importance of aviation security, ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East launched a public campaign in September 2021 called September Security Month. Throughout the month, we presented information and insights from ICAO, airport members and World Business Partners on our digital and social channels outlining security topics, challenges and solutions.
We debuted a three-part video series called Aviation Security Explained discussing the basics, the evolving nature and the impact of COVID-19 on aviation security.
Aviation Security Explained
To raise more awareness of the importance of aviation security with security professionals and the wider aviation community, ACI Asia-Pacific & Middle East created a series of three videos looking into various security issues from a layman’s perspective.
In episode 1, we will talk about some of the basic elements of aviation security and introduce what ACI is doing to help airports improve security.
In episode 2, we will look into various security issues from a layman’s perspective, and the evolving nature of security.
In episode 3, we will talk about the impact of the pandemic, how airport security teams have given their best endeavours to upkeep the highest security standards while ensuring the health safety of passengers.
