On 13 September 2024 Aviation Consulting hosted a seminar on the developments in the field of aviation security in Tallinn, Estonia for the seventh time.

The seminar was designated to instructors providing aviation security trainings as well as to those individuals nominated as persons responsible for aviation security, with the intent is to provide the participants information on legal developments as well as trends of unlawful acts against civil aviation, so to ensure the currency of their theoretical knowledge, as required by the National Civil Aviation Security Programme of Estonian Republic (NCASP 11.4.4 & 11.5.4).

The seminar was held with 32 participants actively involved with aviation security, representing more than 30 entities from air carriers, airport operators, regulated agents, regulated suppliers, security service providers, government agencies, navigation service providers to EU aviation security validators, instructors auditors and consultants.

Our special thanks to our presenters, Mr Kristjan Saarik from AS G4S Eesti, Mr Pärtel Preinvalts from Police and Border Guard Board, Mr Arno Pugonen from Rescue Board, and Estonian Internal Security Service!

We thank all the participants for their involvement and hope to see you on the next seminar in 2025!

Under EC Regulation 2015/1998 (as amended by Regulation 2024/1255), as of 01 January 2027 all hauliers providing surface transport of secured air cargo must be approved and listed in the EU database of supply chain security. Thereafter contracting or subcontracting to hauliers that have not been approved and listed in the database is no longer allowed. The approval of the hauliers may be performed either by the Appropriate Authority of the Member State, or by an EU aviation security validator acting on its behalf.

In order to apply for the approval, the haulier must submit its aviation security programme and declaration of commitments to the Appropriate Authority. It must be able to demonstrate how it monitors and ensures compliance with the provisions of its security programme. The haulier must have its staff undergo background check, appoint a security manager that has received appropriate training and ensure that its other staff transporting or having access to the secured consignments have received adequate initial and recurrent security training. Although seemingly quite straight-forward process, depending on the starting point it will take three to six months to get the approval.

Air cargo ground transportation is a highly competitive market. Lacking the necessary approval is likely leading to losing the contract.

Aviation Consulting is offering its expertise from advising the prosperous hauliers of the process, helping to draw up the haulier security programme, assist with training of the hauliers’ staff and providing security management services with affordable prices.
