The global aviation industry continues to face a significant threat from terrorism and criminal activity. The nature of the threat evolves continually, which means that the industry must regularly adapt its defence posture. The ability to meet the threats faced demands close cooperation between government agencies, airports, airlines and other stakeholders that form the global aviation industry.

Transport Security Expo has brought insight and perspective to the unique challenges this industry faces throughout the past decade. Our globally renowned Aviation Security Conference is the premier industry forum in which all of the key agencies and stakeholders gather to discuss the ever-changing threat horizon, debate strategic and operational countermeasures and scope out the future direction of aviation security at the national and transnational level.

Conference Programme

This leading conference will be held over two full days, comprises some twenty-five sessions and features multiple specialised roundtable discussions and debates.
