Government Introduces 10 Aviation Security Compliance Measures: Utilization of Walk-Through Metal Detectors and Explosive Trace Detectors Now Mandatory

In an effort to boost rates of compliance with the national aviation safety program, the Director-General of Air Transportation at the Ministry of Transportation ("Director-General") has decided to introduce a number of applicable measures aimed at ensuring aviation safety through the issuance of Letter No. AU.201/16/DJPU.DKP-2023 ("Letter 201/2024"), which has been in force since 9 August 2024.
In essence, Letter 201/2024 mandates that the heads of airport organizer units and leaders of airport business entities (collectively referred to as "Airport Organizers") should broadly apply 10 types of measures that specifically relate to aviation safety. Said measures must be implemented in line with Regulation of the Minister of Transportation No. PM 9 of 2024 ("Regulation 9/2024").
In addition to ensuring that all airport security equipment is in proper working order and mandating that all passenger and non-passenger individuals (collectively referred to as "Individuals") and all of their carry-on luggage will be recorded and subject to examinations upon the entry of Individuals into restricted areas, Letter 201/2024 also mandates that Airport Organizers must carry out random checks of Individuals via the following mechanisms: 1) Walk-through metal detectors (WTMD): 10% of total random checks; and 2) Body inspection machines: 5% of total random checks. Meanwhile, the mandatory rate for random checks of cabin luggage via X-ray machines has been set at 10%.
Letter 201/2024 also mandates the implementation of unpredictable daily checks via explosive trace detectors (ETD) based upon determined risk assessments, with such procedures being outlined under the relevant airport security programs. Ultimately, the new framework requires all Airport Organizers to ensure that screening for various types of prohibited items is completed via certain types of X-ray machines with threat image projection (TIP) functions.
