METHODS OF PROTECTING CIVIL AVIATION AGAINST THREATS

Summary/Abstract: Aviation security aims to prevent criminal actions against aircraft and their passengers and crew. The European Union adopted a set of regulations on civil aviation security in 2001 after the attacks on the World Trade Center. These regulations are regularly updated in response to diminishing threats. European Union member states retain the right to apply more stringent measures. The subject of the research is the protection of civil aviation against existing threats. The purpose of this paper is to show what is fostered by the adopted legislation drafted largely as a response to specifi c events. Although indicative of the reactive nature of the regulations, many of them have been devoted to protective measures, safety improvements and preventive measures to be taken by aviation operators. Theoretical research methods were used.
