Share intelligence on aviation security: Centre to states

New Delhi: With an all India civil aviation programme in place, the Centre has asked state governments to share 'real time' intelligence on threat perceptions to prevent and deal with aviation emergencies.
As security arrangements at airports and surrounding areas, including their city-side, were being carried out by state police along with the CISF, the Centre has asked state governments to ensure that only police personnel with good performance standards, unblemished background and antecedents should be deployed, official sources said.
The detailed methodology to react to aviation emergencies have been put in place in the National Civil Aviation Security Programme as well as the updated Aviation Security Manual, after drawing lessons from the 1999 hijack of IC-814, the Indian Airlines plane to Kandahar.
