Aviation Security Transformation After 9/11 Attacks
The Aviation Industry in the Post-9/11 World
Before and After the 9/11 Attacks
- Unlawful acts have always been present in aviation but were traditionally low impact and low visibility.
- Modest security measures had been in effect since the late 1960s, but they were relatively inexpensive and tolerated.
- The 9/11 attacks initiated the “Global War on Terror” and led to an exponential increase in security risks, costs, and disruption to air travel.
- What we have now is the “new normal” for a generation
Workplace Safety: Emergency Plans, Fire Protection & Waste Handling
Basic Emergency Plan Documents
Essential documents include the alarm plan, extinction plan, and evacuation plan.
Conditions for Fire Protection Facilities
Fire protection facilities must undergo regular maintenance:
- Fire Fighting Facilities: Maintenance of fire extinguishers, equipped fire hydrants (BIE), and fire hydrants.
- General Facilities Maintenance: Includes water systems, air conditioning, electrical installations, processing plants, emergency lighting, and heating systems.

Airlines and Safety: The Relationship
- Identify and control safety problems.
- Good safety is essential to a healthy company.
- Effective safety programs can be directly linked to good airline management.
Historical Involvement of Airlines
- Early airlines created safety committees.
- Caused formation of the US government aviation accident investigation agency (now NTSB).
