Airlines have been targeted for attacks for over 50 years, so it comes as no surprise that aviation security companies like Global Elite Group are advancing to keep pace with an ever changing environment. While security has vastly improved, airports and airlines must regularly review, adopt and implement new practices in order to keep the travelling public safe.
The challenges faced in securing one airport mirror the challenges faced at many airports, the threat picture may have slight variations, but the actual approach used is consistently similar in nature. “Good, solid security practices and thorough knowledge of the risks, along with information sharing, is the foundation of every program and works at multiple airports,” explains Victor Anderes, Executive Vice President, Global Elite Group. Airport Security is a key industry sector that needs continuous improvement as adversaries will always look for vulnerabilities in the security system. Global Elite Group is committed to exceeding client service expectations by delivering a consistently high quality performance across multiple aviation competencies, offering competitive pricing, innovative handling efficiencies and customer support.
