What is the primary purpose of the Aviation Security Program?

The primary purpose of the Aviation Security Program is to protect civil aviation from unlawful interference. This involves implementing measures and protocols designed to secure airports, aircraft, and passengers from threats such as terrorism, sabotage, and criminal acts. Maintaining a secure environment is critical not only for the safety of passengers and crew but also for the overall integrity of the aviation system.

While enhancing the passenger experience at airports, improving air traffic control efficiency, and managing environmental impacts are important aspects of the aviation industry, they do not directly relate to the core function of the Aviation Security Program. The focus of the program is strictly on mitigating risks and preventing incidents that could jeopardize the safety and security of civil aviation operations.
