10 SECURITY
Rev. 5 15 Apr 10
At transit stations, the crew change will be completed as soon as the passengers have
disembarked.
The Senior Cabin Crew will then advise when catering and cleaning may begin.
10.2.1.6.4 Unattended Aircraft
When an aircraft is not under constant surveillance by Air Italy staff or agents and is left
unattended on the ramp, all doors, hatches and windows must be closed, steps and
ground equipment withdrawn.
In addition, for night stops or prolonged stopovers, the doors and hatches will be sealed in
accordance with Company Policy.
Air Italy Station Management must ensure that security precautions being taken are
adequate to the situation. Such precautions may require, depending on the circumstances,
the aircraft either to be continuously guarded or the area patrolled.
10.2.1.6.5 Stopovers & Night-Stops
At stopover and terminal stations, or in the event of delays, when it may be impractical to
maintain an adequate crew presence on the aircraft, the Commander must liase with
Station Staff so that the hand-over of supervision on board is clearly understood.
At normal scheduled stops, where adequate Station Technical Staff is present, the
Commander's responsibility for the security of his aircraft is transferred to Air Italy Station
Management or Company Representative after it has been safely positioned for unloading.
At unscheduled stops or at stations where it is inappropriate for the staff available to
accept responsibility, the Commander must take all possible precautions for the security of
the aircraft, if necessary, delegating crew members to guard it.
Before leaving the Commander will ensure that required security inspections are
completed, all doors are closed (including cargo), and stairs/loading bridges are removed.
10.2.1.6.6 Inspectors
ENACs Flight Inspectors, Surveyors and Cabin Safety Inspectors of the aircraft State of
Registry, may board to carry out official duties. They should be asked to produce an ID
document form. Commanders will normally receive advance notification of required
observation duties.
10.2.1.6.7 Access by Police
The Prevention of Terrorism Act gives the police powers to search goods arriving or
departing.
The police may board any Air Italy aircraft anywhere in Italy to determine whether there
are unaccompanied goods present requiring exercise of the police powers to search.
The police may carry out such searches of stores, baggage, substances.
Items may be detained for a period of time.
Such items, including transport containers, may be further detained if it is considered they
may be needed as evidence in criminal proceedings.
10.2.1.6.8 Aircraft Visits by the Public
Members of the public are not generally admitted to the airside of an airport for the
purpose of viewing a Air Italy aircraft.
An exception may be made for a public relations or sales promotion visit authorised by Air
Italy Station Management in conjunction, if appropriate, with the aircraft Commander.
Visitors must be accompanied at all times by a responsible staff member.
