Sécurité aérienne

Aviation security refers to the measures and practices implemented to protect civil aviation from unlawful interference, such as terrorism, sabotage, and other criminal acts. It encompasses a broad range of activities intended to safeguard passengers, crew, aircraft, and airport facilities. These measures can include screening of passengers and baggage, monitoring airport access, securing aircraft, and using advanced technology such as surveillance systems and biometric identification. Aviation security is governed by international regulations and standards, particularly those established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and various national authorities. The goal is to ensure the safety and security of air travel, thus maintaining public confidence in the aviation system.
