Air transport security : a priority goal.
The international context, and in particular the attacks of 11 September 2001, have prompted the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, to make air transport security a priority goal.
Airports are highly sensitive locations with a high exposure to risks. As a result, airport security leaves no room for chance.
Samsic Sûreté Aéroportuaire operates in this complex environment with the highest professional standards, providing real-time traceability, audits, training, consulting, etc. We put together a combination of measures and human and material resources to protect civil aviation against all threats to aviation security.
Airport security is everyone’s business: operators, airlines, security professionals, and even passengers. As security professionals, our Agents apply fair and balanced measures on a daily basis to reduce vulnerabilities and risk, while remaining vigilant at all times.
Air transport security
To ensure the safety and security of passengers and occupants at airports, we have developed services requiring specific expertise such as dog teams that detect explosives, for example.
In response to very specific requirements, Samsic Sûreté offers profiling services, behaviour detection techniques designed to identify a potential threat and minimize or prevent attacks.
As a member of SESA, Union of Airport Security Companies, Samsic Sûreté demonstrates its ability to implement best practices as well as social rules adapted to the airport context.
