Aviation security, technology, process and people
After thousands of anti-government protesters occupied HKIA during serious social unrest in 2019, HKIA actively sought to enhance its landside security by implementing a series of measures. These include the establishment of a new, non-LEA contingency response unit, the creation and deployment of a specially trained canine unit to detect explosives, arms, and ammunition, reinvigorating behavioral detection training for airport staff, revitalizing the airport's overall security awareness program and boosting surveillance and monitoring capacity via technology.
