NZ PM cautious about airport security upgrade
New Zealand is unlikely to conduct expensive upgrades to its airport security, as local media reported the Prime Minister John Key said he would take a cautious approach.
A year-long review into domestic aviation security, prompted by an alleged hijacking last year, had found flight threats at ‘high risk’ and recommended a NZ$161 million (US$93 million) security upgrade.
The review found that unscreened passengers and carry-on baggage posed a high risk, but that the threat of terrorism was ‘very low’. The upgrade proposal, which has been slammed by the industry, included greater screening of crew and carry-on baggage.
It also offered measures such as strengthening cockpit doors, security committees at airports and enhanced training and education for airport workers.
Asked about the recommendation, Key said: “Whether you want to go to full screening at all of those 10 airports I think that is something that you would proceed with caution on.”
The government is expected to announce its actions based on the report within the next few weeks.
