“This is to promote and sustain the safety and security of lives and property within and around the airport terminal.
“On safety and security, we have a very large Aviation Security Team, who we continue to train and retrain.
“To achieve success in this space, modern infrastructure is key. Consistent maintenance is yet another face that must be heavily invested in,” she said
Security Drills And Operational Support
“In addition to professional training, we will, together with various law enforcement agencies like the Police, the Air Force, and the DSS hold a joint drilling and training.

He added that “a flight is considered on time when it arrives and/or departs within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. Canceled flights count as not-on-time flights.
“The OTP is calculated based only on flights that operate within the scheduled arrival and/or departure time, with minimal or zero cancellations.
“At the end of the day, the OTP-compliant airlines will be appropriately recognised and appreciated, to engender a culture of on-time performance among airlines at the MMA2 terminal,” he added.
