ACI Represents Airports to Discuss ICAO Annex 17 Amendments 

  • 03 Feb 2020
 

 

In January 2020, the Regional Office participated in an ICAO Annex 17 Working Group meeting hosted by the Singaporean Ministry of Transport.

 

Attended by representatives from 14 states and four international organizations, including ACI Asia-Pacific, the attendees discussed a number of potential new or revised Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) including security culture, hold baggage screening, and behavioural detection.   
 
The major task of the working group is to develop, review and update the SARPs in ICAO Annex 17 on a regular basis.  Over the years, many consequential amendments to Annex 17 have been proposed by the group as the security environment has evolved. The Working Group reports to the Aviation Security Panel, an ICAO security policy decision-making body.

 

The outcomes of the meeting will be presented to this panel in May 20202 for approval.
