airport safety
Pre-flight protective measures
Airport safety encompasses measures protecting passengers, crew, and aircraft from accidents and threats.
This includes security screening, runway protocols, emergency procedures, and aircraft maintenance standards.
The term covers both deliberate threats (terrorism, hijacking) and operational hazards (bird strikes, equipment failure).
New airport safety regulations require additional screening for electronics.
