8. Make-up of the rural airports’ financial result

The figures in the diagram have been rounded off and they do not include capital expenditure or
investments.
The figures are the actual figures of a fairly large Finavia airport for 2012. The passenger
volumes of the airport increased during the year, amounting to several hundred thousand.

9. How to utilize access control system for
identification of known supplier of airport
supplies at security check points

10. • 9.1.1.1 Airport supplies shall be screened before being
allowed into security restricted areas, unless security controls
have been applied to the supplies by a known supplier
• Therefore the aim is to have as many known suppliers as
possible
9.1.1 Security controls — general provisions
10

11. • Less than 300 000 passengers
• One ”Turn a round” at a time
• Personnel 20 – 25
• Security duties carried out by own personnel
• Multifunctional personnel
A Typical Finavia Rural Airport
11

12. • Centralized approval of known suppliers
• Contract with a service provider who takes care of necessary
audits.
• FinSecPro sends Finavia the needed application for a Known
Supplier to be approved
• Feeding of the requiered data to the ID-card database
• Publish it in Airportal (Finavia extranet)
Establishing a Finavia procedure
12

15. • In addition to the Known Supplier application process, in
order to receive a Known Supplier badge, the Known Supplier
has also to sign a declaration of commitment regarding the
use of a Known Supplier badge
– Stored in a safe place
– Given only to persons who have received the appropriate
awareness training
The badge application procedure
15

16. • The representative of the known supplier arrives to the
airport gate
• Shows the known supplier badge to the Lenel access control
reader
• If green then OK and the inspection of the driver and the car
can commence
• If the reader indicates a red light meaning that the delivery is
not performed by a known supplier or the status is not valid
security controls are to be applied to the shipment

20. • No paper documents to be handeld or filled when determing
if the shipment is carried out by a known supplier >
remarkably faster procedure
• Documentation of the known supplier activities is
automatically registered in the data base (the 2 year rule)
• A real time system for entire Finavia
• Rural airports do not have carry out the approval procedure >
saves man power and time for them
The advantages of the system

21. How to maintain sufficient security at rural
airports with a restricted number of staff

22. • Combining two or more duties
– Maintenance
– Rescue
– Security
– Passenger services
• Training gives a wider view to overall security awearness
Multifunctional personnel
22

23. • Finavia is using a program developed by the Technical
Research Center of Finland and it is approved by our National
Authority
• A number of questions to be answered by the airport
– How many roads lead to the airport
– What are the service hours of the public transportation
– The permanency of the personnel
– What is the type of the land surrounding the airport
Utilization of a risk assessment tool
23

24. • The program gives the status of the risk level
– High risk
– Medium risk
– Low risk
• Using the level scale above the airport can adjust the proper
amount of e.g. fence patrols per day
24

25. • Screening of airport supplies, checked in baggage or hand
baggage
– Using a simulator program to meet the 6 hour/six months
requirement
– Installed on computer via network and can be used when ever
convenient for the airport
– No TIP needed to be updated etc.
– No class room traing needed
– Centralized register of competences and training of personnell
– Controlled by the NA when they are performing an inspection to
a rural airport
Utilization of technical solutions where possible and
feasible
