Responsibilities of Airport Management in a Crisis Situation - Information Flow

Abstract

This article focuses on the regulations pertaining to communication between airport services in situations which are regarded as being critical, in Poland. The risk of threat faced by airport staff and passengers using an airport result in the necessity of regulatory tools including laws regarding all aspects of aviation activities and operations, including (and perhaps first and foremost) safety. The present article aims to provide an outline of the problems and issues regarding ensuring safety eg. for passengers as well as allowing readers, who are also passengers, to understand controls put in place at an airport and enforced by airport services, which ostensibly ‘impede’ travel, are based on existing and binding laws, ensuring passengers safe carriage.
