Moving away from a traditional airport security set-up to a new integrated security model

Abstract

This paper summarises the experiences behind the transformation of airport security at Stockholm Arlanda (Sweden), moving from a traditional manpower-based security model characterised by limited technology to a new set-up that benefits from the integration of technology and staffing. The paper provides a structured approach to analysing the current situation; a step-by-step process to move from a traditional set-up to an integrated airport security model; an overview of the efficiencies and cost-savings that such a model allows; and a concrete implementation plan. The paper is partially based on a public procurement performed by the LFV Group. As such, it includes material from a variety of authors.
