Jeju International Airport Conducts Joint Comprehensive Anti-Terrorism Drill with Related Agencies

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Korea Airports Corporation Jeju Regional Headquarters (Head Son Jongha) conducted a comprehensive anti-terrorism drill on the morning of the 24th at Jeju International Airport cargo terminal and apron in cooperation with related organizations.

In this comprehensive anti-terrorism drill, for the first time, the exercise was conducted at the cargo terminal instead of the passenger terminal, simulating various types of terrorism that could actually occur at the airport, including handling explosives found during X-RAY screening, evacuating all cargo terminal staff, capturing armed assailants who infiltrated the apron simultaneously, and rapid response operations to chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive devices thrown by the armed assailants.

In particular, reflecting recent terrorism trends, the drill assumed a complex terrorism situation occurring simultaneously at multiple locations, and successfully completed the exercise through organic cooperation among agencies, demonstrating Jeju Airport's high-level terrorism response capabilities.

The drill involved about 100 personnel from 13 organizations, including the National Intelligence Service, Jeju Regional Aviation Administration, Police Special Forces, Coast Guard Special Forces, Marine Corps 9th Brigade, and Air Force Transport Support Battalion.

Son Jongha, head of Korea Airports Corporation Jeju Regional Headquarters, stated, "We will continue to strive to make Jeju Airport safer through ongoing drills and information sharing with related organizations."
