Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) on January 14 requested aviation security control
be raised to Level 1 before, during and after the 13th National Party Congress.
Accordingly, aviation security control measures
will be enhanced at all units in the sector, including airport authorities,
airports, aviation service providers, air traffic service suppliers, Vietnamese
airlines, and foreign carriers operating in Vietnam.
They will have to increase personnel for
aviation security control; examine and supplement equipment, weapons, and
support tools; and thoroughly prepare response plans for any circumstance.
In particular, relevant forces will apply
various security control measures such as increasing visual inspection, random
check, and screening by explosive detection devices so as to opportunely
uncover abnormal acts and prevent unexpected incidents, thus ensuring absolute
aviation security and safety for the 13th National Party Congress.
The 13th National Party Congress is scheduled to
take place in Hanoi from January 25 to February 2.
Under current regulations, when there are high
risks to aviation security, security control measures will be tightened
according to three levels.
Level 1 is applied in case of nationally
important socio-political events or complicated situation of political security
and social order./.
