Pre-Inspection Visit of Transportation Security Administration

This week a representative of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from the US is visiting Aruba to do preparatory work for the upcoming TSA inspection. Aruba is one of the few islands in the Caribbean area that gives pre-clearance service to passengers travelling to the US. This is why Aruba Airport Authority N.V.’s security department has to maintain high levels of security procedures. Every year TSA together with the Department of Civil Aviation performs a rigorous inspection on the procedures, training and general performance of the security officers at Queen Beatrix International Airport. During this pre-inspection visit, the TSA representative, Mr. Allan Hurr said that he was very satisfied with the security level at the airport. Mr. Hurr also discussed a few changes in security procedures that will be implemented shortly at the airport. AAA looks back at a very successful pre-inspection visit and is very happy with the obtained results of recent months. The representative of TSA, Mr. Allan Hurr, together with the representative of the Department of Civil Aviation, Mr. Claudio Quant were present. On behalf of AAA were Mr. Mario Bikker, Managing Director a.i., Mrs. Angeline Flemming, Security Manager and Mr. Eduardo Wix, Head of Security Inspections.
