Aviation workers may face security checks

The civil aviation authority is adding measures to a regulation to prevent terrorist attacks on passenger planes and airports, including for the first time requiring that all industry employees receive security clearance.

According to the draft of the revised Regulation on Safety and Security of Civil Aviation, all of the country's civil aviation personnel must undergo background security investigations.

Additionally, civil aviation and public security administrations, airports and airlines are asked to enhance their anti-terrorism intelligence capabilities.
