IMPACT AND COUNTERMEASURES
Case Study 1: Brussels Airport Attack
Impacts Countermeasures
▪ Loss of life and serious injuries
▪ Destruction of properties
▪ Damage to airport security integrity
▪ Disruption of airport operations
▪ Flight disruptions/cancellations – Brussels and
network
▪ Increased operational costs for airlines and
airport
▪ Enhanced airport landside/airside security
measures – Brussels and network
▪ Increased landside security, including off-
perimeter checkpoints
▪ Increased security awareness and vigilance
▪ Increased surveillance/monitoring activities
▪ ICAO Annex 17 Amendment 15 for new standard
for landside security
Case Study 2: Daallo Aircraft Sabotage
Impacts Countermeasures
▪ Loss of life ( the suspect) and serious injuries
▪ Damage to aircraft
▪ Damage to airport security integrity
▪ Disruption of airport operations
▪ Flight disruptions/cancellation
▪ Increase operational costs for Daallo airline and
airport
▪ More targeted screening , for example, portable
electronic devices (including laptops and
printers).
▪ Initial and recurrent vetting to address insider
threat.
▪ Aside from 100%, implementation of random
selection
Etihad Airways actions
▷ Intensified Crisis Management Training with Emergency Response Centre
▷ Etihad Airways management sought risk consultancy services to educate on
response to crisis situations
▷ Internal and external stakeholders’ workshop to strengthen coordination for
implementation of airport security measures
FUTURE AVSEC CHALLENGES
Future AVSEC challenges
▷ Use of conventional arms - weapons, MANPADs - will continue
▷ Use of homegrown crude and indigenous techniques including suicide bombs
▷ Technological knowledge and experience obtained from flight simulators and
internet use for cyber attacks
▷ Standardisation of enhanced airport landside security
Future AVSEC challenges
▷ Continuing threats from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)/Drones and lasers
▷ Increased Insider threats for those who have access to airport and airline
operations who may be involved in terrorist and/or criminal activities
▷ Radicalization of individuals for ‘lone wolf’ attacks
▷ CBRN proliferation threats in hands of terrorists
▷ Information/intelligence silo among stakeholders or states

Update on the ICAO work programme on Conflict Zones and way forward
Abu Dhabi, 14 November 2017
39th ICAO Assembly Outcomes
The Technical Commission agreed that the Council should afford priority in light of the 2017 – 2019 Budget to:
Relevant highlights of following Council Sessions
Council directed ICAO Secretariat to:
Launch a survey on the availability of tools and mechanisms developed by external entities to share risk-based information, noting States’ and industry progress in developing systems - 25th AVSEC World 2016, and noting the decline in postings on the ICAO Conflict Zone Information Repository (CZIR).
The key findings of the survey were:
➢ the information provided by entities external to ICAO meets the requirements of the end-users;
➢ there is a requirement to standardize the format in which risk information is made available and there is a requirement to develop solutions allowing for timely and automated access to such information.
Relevant highlights of following Council Sessions
Council directed ICAO Secretariat to:
Discontinue the CZIR and provisionally approve modification into a library of
links to States’ own websites with aeronautical information related to risks to
civil aviation operations over or near conflict zones.
Explore ways to improve States’ risk management capabilities.
How to improve information sharing/exchange?

the industry.
71
Management of change in civil aviation Cont…
Policy Making Cycle :
• Risk Assessment
• Proposal for Change
• Review of the proposal
• Impact assessment
• Implementation
• Evaluation
Steps for Impact Assessment:
• Identification of options to be assessed (as a result
of a risk assessment)
• Desktop assessment (theoretical impact
assessment) and/or operational trials (practical
impact assessment), as appropriate
• Measurements of impacts
• Evaluation of results and
• Decision-making process (possible measures)
72
Aviation Security Culture, Human factor and Insider Threat
Humans are complex creatures of habit. We do the things we do, because that’s the way that we have
always done them. The same can be said of cultures in our society and work.
It is important to promote such culture through:
• Coordination
• Communication
• Training
• Leading by example
• Continues AVSEC Culture assessment and improvement
73
Promoting Innovative Approaches
• We have to stay several steps ahead of those who wish us harm
• We have to continue to work all together in finding innovative approaches
• We need to encourage Innovation to keep up with the industry through reviewing our measures,
processes, technology and especially human factors
