The human factor in aviation security

Abstract

Terror organisations and terrorists have changed people's lifestyles and altered the priorities of societies. Considerable resources are necessarily invested in higher levels of security designed to deter attacks. These security efforts, which commence with intelligence activities, involve a range of strategies. Ultimately, they rely on the final line of defence at the airport and on the aircraft. In addition to the machines, which receive constant upgrading and are a continuing focus of public attention, more than 80,000 highly skilled, trained, reliable and motivated personnel are required in Europe to make judgments and intervene appropriately. Yet, throughout the aviation system, too often people ignore — at their peril — the basics of the human factor in providing effective aviation security. The security of the air transport system can only be as strong as its weakest link. This paper sets forth the steps needed to rearrange the priorities.
