Regional Aviation Security Challenges & Opportunities
Checked Bag Screening
OVERVIEW
15 May 07 announcement
100% (ETD) CBS by 1 Dec 07
100% (X-Ray) CBS by 1 Dec 08
Originally impacted 26 regional airports
Now affects 32 regional airports
CBS EquipmentX-Ray EDS Machines:
3m to 5.5m in length
Weigh around 4 tonnes each!
Rationale for CBS
Industry not involved in decision
No threat update to industry
No change in national threat level
Rationale for CBS
How does CBS improve aviation security?
The use of CBS provides an additional layer of security to the multi-layer security approach used at airports throughout Australia.
The introduction of CBS at regional airports allows for screening of baggage that would have previously gone unscreened.

Funding for CBS
$15.4m over 4 years
Only for security capital – not for Opex
Percentage funding airports with >500,000 pax, no fundscommenced jets ops May 07, no fundsOnly for security equipmentNo funding for buildings, power, data, etc
Funding for CBS
Capital Cost X-Ray CBS machine cost $0.5m each
32 airports need 32 to 39 machines ($16m to $19m)
Baggage handling average costs $200k ($6.4m)
Explosive Trace Detection $60k each ($1.9m)
Total is between $24 & $28m
Building works range $400k to $3m per site (say extra $15m)
Potential shortfall is $24m to $28m
Non redundancy at some major regional airports, due to airline pressure
Implementation
Enough Time?3 vendors of X-Ray machines30 to 37 machines needed now3 months lead time for machines19 weeks to go

Case Studies
1. Port Macquarie Airport
2. Mount Isa Airport
Port Macquarie Airport
Financial Cost of CBS
Case Study 1 - Port Macquarie Airport
Population - 65,000
120,000 pax per annum
1 x Jet service per day
Remainder not screened - no cost recovery
Estimated $19 per passenger CBS cost
What happens if jet service cancelled?
Mount Isa Airport
Financial Cost of CBS
Case Study 2 – Mount Isa Airport
Population - 25,000
160,000 pax per annum
1~2 jet flights a day (2 flights on Mon, Tue, Thu & Fri)
Currently $14 per passenger for screening – 100% X-Ray CBS will add more cost
What happens if jet becomes turboprop?
Turboprop vs. Jet Operations
Competitive Neutrality?
Competitive Advantage / Disadvantage
Rockhampton vs. Gladstone / EmeraldExisting major regionals have cost advantageDifficult for smaller regional airports to compete
Sunshine Coast vs. BrisbaneBrisbane has 7m outbound passengersSunshine coast has 400k outbound paxBoth have same screening requirements
Solutions
Glasgow attack did not target:The airport owners / operatorsThe local community
Attack was aimed at:National levelInternational audienceThe national aviation infrastructure
Solutions
Potential Models:
1. Universal Service Obligation
2. National Aviation Security Provider
e.g. NZ Avsec / US TSA
Solutions
Universal Service Obligation
National price for screening (say $4 per pax)
Airports >$4 receive rebate
Airports <$4 no rebate
Recognises that aviation security involves a broad range of stakeholders that link into an essential national transport network.
SolutionsNZ AVSEC / US TSA Model
Potential Benefits:Consistent security process & outcomeStandardised equipment & training Improved recruitment & retention of staff
Aviation safety services use this model:ATC, ARFF, Met
Government does some aviation securityAFP, Customs, AusCheck
Summary
National aviation infrastructure
Current security regime not perfectDisproportionate burden on regional communities Inhibitor to regional development
Surely we can find a better model?
Summary
“Remote and regional communities, basic services such as public transport and delivery of fresh food, medical supplies, mail, educational materials, and urgent supplies rely on the use of airport infrastructure.”
“Airports gain further importance as entry gates to regions for business and industries that support and encourage ongoing regional and economic development.”
