Security Services for Airports and Airlines
Airports and airlines operate in some of the most demanding security environments, where precision, coordination, and compliance are non-negotiable. From controlling access to restricted zones and protecting critical infrastructure to supporting TSA regulations and safeguarding passenger flow, every detail matters. Prosegur’s aviation security services are tailored to meet these exacting requirements. With expertly trained personnel, advanced surveillance technologies, and real-time intelligence, we help ensure secure, efficient operations at every terminal. Our teams also provide select passenger support services, including wheelchair assistance, to enhance the overall traveler experience.
How Security Supports Airports and Airlines
Strengthening Aviation Risk Mitigation
Our aviation security programs identify and manage risks unique to airports—from runway breaches to insider threats—ensuring continuous operational integrity.
Enhancing Passenger Trust and Experience
By combining friendly guard presence with efficient security protocols, we create a safe atmosphere that supports airport reputation and customer satisfaction.
Minimizing Disruptions with Proactive Response
Rapid-response protocols, situational awareness training, and integrated communication systems allow us to de-escalate incidents before they affect airport operations.
Supporting Multi-Layered Aviation Security Strategy
We integrate guard services, remote monitoring, and technology-based controls to provide airports with a layered approach that addresses airside and landside vulnerabilities.
Aviation Security Training For Guards
Aviation security is about more than just routine patrols—it takes a skilled team that knows the ins and outs of airport operations, federal rules, and traveler behavior. Prosegur’s aviation security training program gives guards the tools, knowledge, and confidence to perform at their best in one of the most demanding and sensitive environments out there.
Security guards are trained in Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, as well as airport-specific security programs. Guards learn to interpret and apply evolving federal guidelines, support inspection readiness, and assist clients in maintaining full regulatory compliance.
Our personnel are prepared with the full scope of airport access control, including badging systems, secure area restrictions, and credential verification. Guards learn to apply access denial procedures appropriately while maintaining clear documentation and communication with airport security coordinators.
In the aviation industry, every second matters during a crisis. Our training ensures that guards are fully prepared to recognize, report, and respond to a wide range of emergency scenarios, from unattended baggage and fire alarms to potential active threats and severe weather disruptions. Guards are taught to follow airport-specific emergency action plans, work in coordination with TSA personnel and first responders, and help maintain calm among passengers during high-stress situations. By reinforcing decision-making under pressure, communication clarity, and rapid execution of lockdown or evacuation procedures, our training empowers guards to act decisively and effectively when it counts most.
Airports require security personnel who can manage high-pressure scenarios while remaining approachable and professional. Training in this area includes verbal de-escalation, situational awareness, and providing helpful assistance to travelers—all without compromising security posture or slowing operations.
