Are You Leveraging Your Natural Resources?

Airports generally aren't situated atop deposits of minerals, gas or other resources that can readily be turned into cash. And taking passengers' gold and silver fillings is probably out of the question. There are, however, ways to mine airports' other hidden assets.   [more]

Industry Insider

Accountability is the Answer

Airport Improvement Magazine generally discusses success stories in the industry, but airports don't always win, do they? Too often they end up on the short end of the stick during construction projects. We give airports and their project teams credit when it's due, but who is accountable when airports lose?   [more]

Crisis

This webinar was originally held December 8th, 2011.

Todays airports, though owned and operated by local government entities, are besieged by competing operational requirements and mandates that dictate access control, identity verification, authentication and credentialing of local employees, airline staff and possibly even transient flight crews, which are determined by a myriad of legislation, federal regulations, state regulations, local codes and ordinances, as well as TSA security directives. In addition, advancements in security technology including biometrics, cooperation with government agencies, privacy impact, growth, new construction and reduced funding significantly impact the approximately 460 regulated commercial airports. All combine to create a number of new security and privacy challenges for airports that were originally designed for the business of moving passengers quickly and efficiently through the facility.

The RTCA are updating their recommendations on airport security including identity management and physical access control solutions. With the imminent release of updated legislation and directives, the TSA, with its statutory responsibility to assess threats to transportation, is considering mandates that would require airports to significantly change their identity and credentialing operations.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • How the TSA has mandated change in the past and its affect on airports
  • The History of TSA Mandates
  • Imminent New Mandates
  • Managing Change and MigrationDont waste money on technology that may become obsolete.

This webinar was originally held December 8th, 2011.
