Airport Security

Safety and Security throughout the airport precinct is afforded the hightest priorities.  Government regulated security requirements are a key focus of Broome International Airport.  Front line security roles are primarlily performed by Broome International Airport's specialist security staff (Broome Airport Services).

Passenger Screening at Broome International Airport terminals is performed to Australian Govenment standards using x-ray machines, walk through metal detectors and hand held metal detectors.  Explosive trace detection systems were introduced at the passenger screening point in October 2003, with random screening of passengers and carry on goods.

Checked Bag Screening is an increasing focus of the Australian Government and Broome International Airport manages and operates the assets that deliver these services, including in-line xray units and conveyor systems and Explosive Trace detection equipment.  Broome International Airport is working with Government to achieve new mandates for domestic checked baggage screening.

The Broome International Airport has an access control system with an extensive network of closed circuit TV cameras which operate 24hours a day and constant security patrols.

An in-house team of secuirty specialists provide advice and guidance on risk management and policy standards to meet Govenrment mandates and corporate requirements.  Audits and system testing takes place regularly to ensure achievement of security outcomes.

Aviation Security Identification Cards (ASIC)

These cards are used at Security controlled airports and are issued in accordance with enhanced background security checks on holders.  These initiatives are designed to deliver a high standard of aviation security to meet contemporary threats.
