Mumbai: In the face of new threats and new challenges, the culture of aviation security requires significant reform IATA has called for a partnership between industry, governments and regulators to enhance aviation security by embracing a globally harmonised, risk-based system.
Speaking at the ongoing 22nd AVSEC World Conference in Istanbul, Tony Tyler, director general and CEO, IATA said, "Aviation security stands at a crossroads. Global passenger numbers will be approaching four billion per year by 2017, and the aging systems and outdated procedures of the current security system will not be able to cope. We need to change from prescriptive one-size-fits-all measures and embrace performance-based regulation if the economic benefits of aviation growth are not to be curtailed by security inefficiency."
Tyler noted three key areas for improving security cooperation: The importance of early collaboration between industry and government; that the shift to a risk-based approach should be pursued more aggressively; and security is best enhanced through a strengthened and harmonised global system—not adopting disparate regimes.
