Hi zusammen,
hier noch eine Presseveröffentlichung der NAC von heute.
Viele Grüße
Christian
NAC, in its capacity responsible for the implementation of security measures at the airport level has committed, together with all stakeholders, to work on issues identified. Additionally the Airport Council International (ACI) Airport Excellence (APEX) Programme in Security that was held in December 2017 at HKIA also brought out various issues that have since formed part of our holistic approach to addressing security matters at our flagship airport.
Again, we reiterate that for the expected ICAO Security audit, NAC will be part of the audit process and therefore we are working hand in hand with the NCAA, in its capacity as the Aviation Security designated Appropriate Authority and all other concerned stakeholders to identify areas of improvement as well as, where appropriate, the correctives actions to be implemented at the airport level.
It is important to highlight that there is no link between the upcoming ICAO Security Audit and the downgrade of any airport. Downgrade can only emanate from a Safety Audit and in this case it is the sole responsibility of Namibia Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in its capacity as the Designated Civil Aviation Authority.
We remain confident that issues, related to airport operations, ( including long queues) will be addressed in time thanks to all stakeholders that are contributing to addressing these issues and that their continued support will make sure we attain our objective as a nation.
NAC proactively and duly so procured apron buses in 2013 to aid in rendering best quality service to the passengers whenever it would be necessary. Unfortunately to this date, the busses are not used by the ground-handlers, Air Namibia and Menzies due to unforeseen circumstances. Recently, engagement on the modalities for the operationalization of the service has taken place and it remains our wish and desire that the buses will be used to enhance passengers’ experience at Hosea Kutako International Airport.
