  • As detailed comprehensively under the Appendices to Decree 22/2024, the Guidelines will now serve as a reference for use by various flight operators during the implementation of mandatory aviation security threat assessments ("Threat Assessments"). The aforementioned flight operators comprise eight entities that include: 1) Airport organizer units; 2) Airport business entities; 3) Domestic and foreign airline companies; 4) Known consignors; and 5) Regulated agents.

Intelligence and/or other information relating to unlawful interference ("Threat Intelligence") should be constantly gathered, analyzed and sent to relevant parties by the Director-General and flight operators.
