Glasgow Airport attack response: a lesson for Mumbai
The response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow International Airport in June 2005 is a text-book example of how a business can quickly return to normal after a major incident, the President of Singapore’s Business Continuity Group (BCG), Jaspar Tan, said at a security briefing last week (Friday 27 February).
A Jeep Cherokee loaded with propane canisters was driven into the glass doors of the Glasgow International Airport on June 30 2007, but the airport was fully operational less than 17 hours later.
The fire that resulted from the Jeep crash had been extinguished within half an hour of igniting, and 4500 people were successfully evacuated. The entrance door to the airport had been rebuilt within four weeks.
“If you compare the Glasgow Airport attack with what happened in Mumbai last November, then you really get a sense of the importance of business continuity planning,” said Tan.
“Business continuity is not about money, special products or technology. It is not a project with a beginning and an end. It is a well rehearsed ‘live’ plan that will save lives and the business.”
