Longport’s processes are fully compliant with ICAO Annex 17, TSA, Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, TSA EU and local requirements.

Together with Longport, we offer high-quality, reliable aviation security services to prestigious global clients.

A Holistic Approach

With the threats to aviation increasing each year and as the associated costs rise, the aviation industry requires effective security measures to counter threats at the most economical cost. The challenges faced by aviation go beyond random acts of terrorism directed at terminals or passenger flights. As a consequence we adopt a holistic approach to the risk mitigation process through adopting an integrated security strategy across an entire organisation and ensuring that we work closely with other stakeholders involved in the security of the airport and air carriers.

By looking at security systems holistically we reduce costs while improving service levels and enhancing the passenger experience. Security solutions are tailored to the individual requirements of each airline, airport, cargo agent or supply company. We provide you with complete fully managed service solutions encompassing all aspects of delivery within the secure environment. And we maintain our standards day after day through continuous training.

‘We provide aviation security services in 15 countries and at 25 airports, serving over 20 of the world’s leading airlines including Emirates, Delta, Air Canada and Air France.’
